A Series of Notes in My Pen 
“What if you discovered that the fire of Hell is real?
So be it. I cannot be immoral, foolish, and a liar because I am threatened with torture.”
— Interpreting things by twisting clear events and inventing conspiracy theories may give you a pleasant feeling that you are smart and know hidden truths, while in reality you are very foolish and the matters are obvious.
A recorded tape simply plays back what has been stored; it does not think for itself. Thought requires originality, and we cannot call a person a thinker if they operate with an inherited herd mentality.
If all the budgets in the world allocated for weapons and arms races were spent on free education, I believe the world would not need weapons. I say “free” because rote learning cannot be called knowledge.
When an ignorant person feels they are about to lose an argument, they shift the debate onto a pile of rocks, where it becomes unclear who truly knows the game and who does not. They possess only four words, and once those run out, they start quarreling.
When you throw your people into confrontations for which you have no means, you are the traitor.
The greatest betrayal is to perforate the ship while your family cannot swim.
A fact that may not interest you: Captain Noah’s Ark will not hold the beetles alone, as there are more than 350,000 different species of beetles. We offer our apologies to you, elephants and giraffes—the ship is full, and we must depart.
If Abraham had been burned in the fire, it would have been better than us burning by the fire of his three children over thousands of years.
I believe if Moses had drowned instead of Pharaoh, the world would have seemed better.
For billions of years, God only created bacteria.
God is the most generous of the generous, yet He expelled Adam from Paradise because of an apple.
Noah lived a thousand years, yet he only fathered four sons. Poor Mrs. Noah—I believe he slept with her once every 250 years.
