Mel Gibson's Apocalypto Insults Mayan Culture - Jan 2007
Mel Gibson brings out a new film called Apocalypto and, as usual, runs rough shod over historical accuracy to further his Christian agenda and fixation on violence. Those who see Apocalypto will leave the cinema with the false notion that the Spanish Conquistadors' invasion of Meso-America was a blessing that liberated the Mayans from their own barbarism. Truth is, the Spanish were far more barbarous in bringing their fetid Catholic dogma to the New World, displaying the same Christian fervour which has been responsible for the murder, maiming and torture of millions over the centuries, the destruction of hundreds of cultures, and the sexual abuse of countless children. Even the Muslims were historically known to be more tolerant than the Christians. So how is it that the 'gentle Jesus meek and mild' could have spawned such twisted minds and frozen hearts? |

"Listen!
Here's all you need to know to become enlightened:
Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know.
That's it. That's the whole deal; a complete teaching of enlightenment, a complete practice. If you ever have any questions or problems, no matter what the question or problem is, the answer is always exactly the same:
Sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know.
In other words, go jump off a cliff.
Don't go near the cliff and contemplate jumping off. Don't read a book about jumping off. Don't study the art and science of jumping off. Don't join a support group for jumping off. Don't write poems about jumping off. Don't suck up to someone else who jumped off.
Just jump."
Jed Mckenna quoted from Spiritual Enlightenment |

Age Garbage
