[Nettime-nl] "De Hand van God"


Die reclame waarbij de 'Hand van God' als optie (nog) niet verkrijgbaar 
was op het menu (vrij grappig, mi) is nu van de TV gehaald, om de 
religieuze gevoelens van sommige volksdelen niet te kwetsen. Andere 
volksdelen, maar dan in Argentina (een land oniendig veel verder dan 
Nederland in alle opzichten), hebben daar veel minder moeiete mee, getuige 
het volgend verhaal:

"Anyone associated with addiction, alcoholism, eccentricity is assumed to 
be far removed from godliness. For that person to have a church dedicated 
to him sounds a bit difficult to believe. But it's true. In the 
Argentinian city of Rosario there exist the first Maradonian church, the 
Hand of God church. For the 400 Diegorian brothers who attend the church 
regularly, the autobiography of Maradona, 'I am Diego', is the Bible. The 
people who helped him in his life are his apostles. Those who have 
hindered it are branded heretics. And Diego Armando Maradona [born 30 
September 1960] is god. The church says we are living in 44 A.D. (after 
Diego) i.e. forty-four years after he was born." (...)

Dus die optie is er wel degelijk. Als geloof bergen verzet dan zeker ook 
de bal!
