Imagine that if you only went to school to find out the things your parents never told you and you get to 80+ and find it is true.
Now imagine there are no Old School clubs that you can go and meet new friends from time to time. That each few years another set of people grows up that doesn't want to know anyone or anything.
How awful the alternatives to the rich wide world full of fruit would that be, if no one decided that they would like to leave it a better place?
What if nobodies' children wanted to learn the good things and in return help us older people to understand Facebook. What would the world be like with no Internet these days; if everyone believed instead the reality that Fox News and Worse News shows told them.
Imagine no god making the way out for people. Image there being no god!
For the purpose of education Non-Brits:
Imagine we never understood The Goon Show to be a comedy.

Suppose we got to school and found out that science had not progressed to looking at the sky through tubes. Or worse suppose we divided the world into people like cave men called Eccles and people who could understand the world was round like Newton.
How many of us Eccleses would still think the world was round?
And appreciated the need to provide "godlike" someone like
Leibniz to explain Newton's Principia to us in a form of maths that can be understood by our Principle Men?
Leibniz to explain Newton's Principia to us in a form of maths that can be understood by our Principle Men?
If the Elite were totally different from us cavemen... how many Princes ruling the world do you imagine would it take to bring us out of the Dark Age?
Imagine how many little boys would continue to be be buggered if there was no way under heaven to stop the world's rich and powerful buggerising us. Suppose the wolrd went from a Chimpanzee without all the rich men going broke and elected -unopposed, a worse case World Leader put in by the BBC and CNN?
Suppose that unhindered by world events we were being worse than sodomised every working day and plagued each weekend when the rich ran riot.
And we accepted it like the people in the last empire who were poor in British Colonies and it was run by the Japanese. Suppose just like the Internet rumours, it is true that rich politicians kidnap and eat babies. Could you imagine if it was acceptable to us because we were monkeys?
I had a dream like that just before I woke up. It was so ridiculous that I woke up laughing. But then I asked god to let me write about what life could be like without him. Only instead of writing a comedy I turned out what I just wrote.
But now back to the light relief:
Suppose the Internet was written for us cave dwellers. It isn't that big a stretch to imagine a house like mine, in sore need of a houskeeper, Piles of rubish everywhere like firewood waiting for me to get cold enough to need a fire so badly I would rub some sticks with one another as fast as possible; what would we make of the world?
A big blue thing that was greenish underneath and every morning a big, yellow pancaks thing goes round. And then when it got grey instead of blue another pancake just like it came around instead. A big silver one called: Australia.
