If programming languages were religions....

Okay, so I actually didn't write this one myself, but I saw it on another website and thought it just had to go here.

Bear in mind that this list is just a joke. It is meant to be humorous, if you take offense, then I am sorry.

C would be Judaism - it's old and restrictive, but most of the world is familiar with its laws and respects them. The catch is, you can't convert into it - you're either into it from the start, or you will think that it's insanity. Also, when things go wrong, many people are willing to blame the problems of the world on it.

The Truth of Life

Plato once wrote, “Last of all he will be able to see the sun, and not mere reflections of him in the water, but he will see him in his own proper place, and not in another, and he will contemplate him as he is” (68). One would look at that quote and agree with Plato in saying that a person can eventually learn to reconstruct any doubts and misgivings and turn them into truth and reason. In this paper I will attempt to explain how this works, and how in real life we are kept from wonderful experiences only because we are afraid of the unknown.
