The Parable of the Indoctrinated.

The Indoctrinated encounters two strange men.

The first man says, “If you believe in God and you join me to war against my enemies, God will grant you one hundred virgins in Heaven when you die in battle.”

The Indoctrinated screams at the first man, “You are dangerous! I will never join you to do anything. What a bad belief system, what Patriarchal nonsense!” The first man leaves.

The second man comes in and he says to the Indoctrinated, “If you believe that God exists, then God has granted only me the right to own one thousand slaves in this life. My children and their descendants also have the right to own one thousand slaves each on this Earth, not in Heaven.”

The Indoctrinated replies, “That’s interesting! Your God is interesting.”

~ Success is a horrible teacher. It seduces the ignorant into thinking that he can’t lose. It seduces the intellectual into thinking that he must win. Success corrupts; Only usefulness exalts. ~ WP. Narmer Amenuti (which names translate: Dances With Lions), was born by The River, deep within the heartlands of Ghana, in Ntoaboma. He is a public intellectual from the Sankoré School of Critical Theory, where he trained and was awarded the highest degree of Warrior Philosopher at the Temple of Narmer. As a Culture Critic and a Guan Rhythmmaker, he is a dilettante, a dissident and a gadfly, and he eschews promotional intellectualism. He maintains strict anonymity and invites intellectuals and lay people alike to honest debate. He reads every comment.
