The Bible: “a manual of bad habits, a catalog of cruelty and the worst of human nature,”
Said the Portuguese writer and winner of the Nobel Prize, Jose Saramago.
According to Saramago,
“Yes, the reader understood correctly. The Father ordered Abraham to sacrifice his own son, as if he was simply ordering a cup of water to quench his thirst. This shows his manners, very ingrained. The logical, natural and simply human response would be for Abraham to send the Father to shit!”
And what was the occasion that caused such response from Saramago?:
Saramago’s harsh words against the “biggest problem of humanity (religion)” aren’t new or surprising. He is known—in Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula—for his harsh words against religion.
I know I’ll buy his new book (yes, even though I’m a Catholic)

“Un manual de malas costumbres, un catálogo de crueldad y de lo peor de la naturaleza humana”
dijo el escritor portugués y ganador del premio Nobel, José Saramago, hablando de la Biblia.
Según Saramago,
“Sí, el lector leyó bien. El Señor ordenó a Abraham que sacrificase a su propio hijo, como quien pide un vaso de agua si tiene sed, lo que significa que esa era su costumbre, muy arraigada. Lo lógico, lo natural, o lo simplemente humano, sería que Abraham hubiese mandado al Señor a la mierda”
¿Y cual fue la ocasión que provocó Saramago decir estas palabra fuertes?
"Cain" su libro nuevo que describe la vida de Adan y Eva en un tono irónico y chistoso.
Las palabras de Saramago no son noticias nuevos, él es conocido en todo Latinoamérica y la Península Ibérica simplemente por sus palabras fuertes contra el "gran problema de la humanidad" (Religión).
Tengo muchísima curiosidad sobre los pensamientos de este hombre. Como ven uds.? Lo comprarán?

You’re happy, excited and full of joy, until some liberal wacky sanfrancisco-style judge shoots it down, claiming it UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
“Government must never be allowed to express favored treatment for one faith over others," says Americans United executive director Rev. Barry Lynn in Opposing Views”
BUT WAIT! Even though Rev. Lynn makes an important point, what about you? Aren’t your beliefs being censored? Freedom of Speech?
So that’s where the issue is:
Freedom of Religious Expression within Government vs. Government Censorship of All types of Religion as to not express favorites.
Who’s right?
South Carolina has recently been in the middle of similar mess when they decided to issue “Christian License Plates.”
I personally feel as though the judge did the right thing to state that the license plates are unconstitutional.
In a somewhat similar case held in Utah, the government was forced to order new license plates when the government advertised “Ski! Utah.” If nonreligious advertisement cannot be placed on license plates then religious icons shouldn’t either.
Also, I have not seen any US state offer Islamic License plates or plates with the Virgin Guadalupe….
It’s simply not fair. Church has not place in Government.
