A propósito de religião, transcrevo para aqui um texto de alunos do programa GAIA (do CICD) a decorrer no Reino Unido:

“Two embryos talking to each other:
− Do you believe in a life after birth? - asked
one.
− Of course, after birth something must follow. I
believe that our life here is only preparation for
the life after our birth, so we will be strong
enough to meet our future. -answered the
other one.
− Stupidity, there is no life after birth. However,
how would you imagine it?
− I don’t know exactly, but maybe we would
have more light than here... Maybe we could
use our legs to walk and our mouths to eat...
− Oh, it’s silliness! - said the other. Walk with
our legs, and eat with our mouths? It’s
ridiculous! We have our umbilical cord to
provide us food. Furthermore, I have to tell
you, that we have to forget about the life after
birth, because this umbilical cord is too short already!!
− But... but something has to come. Maybe it will be a little different than we are used to
in here...
− Nobody came back after birth! With our birth our life is over. Life is a big dark survival
trip!
− I don’t know how it will be when we will be born, but maybe we could see our mother,
and she could take care of us?! -said one embryo with hope.
− Mother? Do you believe in Mother? Where is she?
− Well, everywhere around us. We are inside her and that's why we are alive. Without her
we couldn’t be.
− I don’t believe in it. I have never seen her, so it’s obvious that she doesn't exist.
− Sometimes, when we are in silence, you can hear her singing, or sometimes you can feel
how she fondles our world! You know, I really believe that the real life will just come…”
