The purpose of MOOism is probably not something most of us
|
|||
|
would try to theorize, although it has been written that it is to
|
|||
|
burn and to have fun. The classic purpose of religion was to bring
|
|||
|
people together to break through the human urge to kill all the
|
|||
|
other humans who are not the same as us. As everyone is different
|
|||
|
we need something to compensate for this difference. This was the
|
|||
|
first religion. It promoted survival of the individuals by
|
|||
|
promoting the survival of the group.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(FROM THE SECOND BOOK OF APES : APES)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
When he had come upon the earth, the ape was naked and afraid. For
|
|||
|
comfort he picked up a stick, chewed the end to a point, and stuck
|
|||
|
it in a nearby living thing.
|
|||
|
When the living thing died, transfixed by the stick, the ape ate of
|
|||
|
its flesh and soon conceived a great hunger for the death of other
|
|||
|
living things.
|
|||
|
Thereupon the ape made many pointed sticks and stuck them into
|
|||
|
great multitudes of other living things, including, on occasion,
|
|||
|
other apes.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For seven times seven generations of their race, the apes stuck
|
|||
|
pointed sticks into seven times seven generations of other living
|
|||
|
things.
|
|||
|
And there were seven times seven kinds of apes, and of this number
|
|||
|
there were brown apes, and black apes,
|
|||
|
And green apes, and red apes, and white apes, and yellow apes.
|
|||
|
And there were small apes and tall apes, and wide apes, and narrow
|
|||
|
apes, and thin apes, and fat apes.
|
|||
|
And swift apes, and slow apes, and strong apes, and weak apes, and
|
|||
|
clever apes and dull apes.
|
|||
|
And they all were killer apes.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and by golly does this get long-winded... but the apes that were
|
|||
|
the same gang up and kill other types of apes, but the clever apes
|
|||
|
kill all the other apes. and these clever apes go on to give
|
|||
|
themselves names so they can tell each other apart to make it
|
|||
|
easier to kill your enemies (cuz their all clever apes now) and
|
|||
|
then they go on to name their race (man, of course). (from the book
|
|||
|
of apes : names).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(FROM THE BOOK OF APES : GODS)
|
|||
|
so then they were killing things much more efficiently and suddenly
|
|||
|
had time to create THINGS. and finally somewhere near the beginning
|
|||
|
of chapter 3 our interest is again directed towards the writings
|
|||
|
themselves, after the imaginative apes ask all those questions...
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"Why does the rain not come just when we need it?"
|
|||
|
"And why is the hunting not always as good as it could be?"
|
|||
|
"And why does it seem that the grass grows greener on the other
|
|||
|
side of the valley?"
|
|||
|
And hearing these questions, the others became quite upset, saying,
|
|||
|
"We don't know, what's the answer, we're terribly confused."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and about now the imaginative ones introduce GODS. and in chapter
|
|||
|
4 they become priests and demand sacrifices for these things. And
|
|||
|
then, in chapter 6, after seven years of plenty, there was no rain,
|
|||
|
and the wars went badly and so on, and so on. So the priests were
|
|||
|
besieged, and after 6 weeks...
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Which was way too long.
|
|||
|
But at last the priests triumphantly announced that they had an
|
|||
|
answer,
|
|||
|
And the people crowded around to listen, saying,
|
|||
|
"This had better be good."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and the priests described how the old sacrifices were but petty
|
|||
|
change to a god, and that better was needed, and they smiled, and
|
|||
|
described temples and idols and monuments, with much writing upon
|
|||
|
them, commemorating the gods... and they described how to do
|
|||
|
this...
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And they praised the great, generous Gods who had made the earth
|
|||
|
and the seas and the beasts of the field,
|
|||
|
And who had made the cleverest of the apes into a powerful nation
|
|||
|
of priests and warriors and builders and writers,
|
|||
|
Which was the greatest gift of all,
|
|||
|
And which was called "CIVILIZATION".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Indeed it would seem that MOOism brings together people of
|
|||
|
various groupings together under a single heading (which seems to
|
|||
|
be in some disfavour in Ottawa). For we too have our big apes and
|
|||
|
small apes and fast apes and slow apes and clever apes and red apes
|
|||
|
and brown apes. And we have built our own form of civilization, one
|
|||
|
which we feel is more realistic to our own expectations and
|
|||
|
livelihood than that of those in the other civilizations around us.
