| Labyrinth of the Mind |
God vs PegasusMany of us are famillar with those philosphical type questions that really are quite impossible to asnwer, the little ones, like for instance the first two that come to my mind is, the old how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, or can God create a rock that even he cannot lift? Well in one of my late night thinkings I have developed one of my own.
What is the differance between God and Pegasus?
And well it does not have to be Pegasus in specific but that is sort of a symbol of all things mythological, it might at face vaule seem like a silly question but if you really think about it, what answer can one possibly give? There is nothing solid or tangiable that anyone could point at that would in fact give God more validity over Pegasus.
The reason people in this day and age do not belive in Pegasus is for one becasue the idea of such a creature seems physcaly impossible, there is no hard core evidence, no bones, or any other such things that can prove that such a creatue had at one time exsisted, and no one has seen one, at least not as far as we know in this day and age have thier been reports of any Pegasus sightings. But the reason why we even know what Pegasus is, is becasue at one point in time there were people that reported having seen such a creature but the is no proff to say that is really what they saw or if in fact they had seen something that did not yet understand or have a name for and so dubbed it Pegasus.
Well if you read all of the above but replaced the word Pegasus with God, well it really would not change all that much, for the same could be said equally as true. Of course religous people will try to refer to the bible as proof of God, but that is an invalid argument, for one thing it was writtian by men, men who lived in the very same time peirod that belived in Pegasus. And well just as people can try to point to the bible as proof so can I find text that makes refrence to the Pegasus, myths and legends which refer to the creature. And there really is no rational and logical way a person can argue that the bible is somehow a more valid source then any work of mythology. The fact that "you belive it is true" does not really count as an argument.
There is also the matter which has always fascinated me, about the fact that it was not just one isolated area that believed in Pegasus and other assorted creatures of myth, but rather cultures from all over the globe have had thier own such simillar creatures and thier own simillar myths.
And really if you think about it, this almost serves as one point in favor of Pegasus and one point against God as far as validity goes on account of the fact that God, or the beleif in him did start in one central area and was then imposed upon other people, it was not a common beleif that everyone seemed to share independtly of, but one that people were forced into acceptence of and one which poeple had to spread the word to others about.
But as far as I know, there was not any one group of person traveling all over to inform people about the exisitince of
Pegasus and to try and get them to accept it, but rather it seems many of our creatures of myths seemed to be collectivly beleived in by many different people without the influence of others upon them. 10:49 PM - 1/18/2007 - post comment
