The Monkey Story The experiment involved 5 monkeys, a cage, a banana, a ladder and, crucially, a water hose. The 5 monkeys would be locked in a cage, after which a banana was hung from the ceiling with, fortunately for the monkeys (or so it seemed…), a ladder placed right underneath it. Of course, immediately, one of the monkeys would race towards the ladder, intending to climb it and grab the banana. However, as soon as he would start to climb, the sadist (euphemistically called “scientist”) would spray the monkey with ice-cold water. In addition, however, he would also spray the other four monkeys… When a second monkey was about to climb the ladder, the sadist would, again, spray the monkey with ice-cold water, and apply the same treatment to its four fellow inmates; likewise for the third climber and, if they were particularly persistent (or dumb), the fourth one. Then they would have learned their lesson: they were not going to climb the ladder again – banana or no banana. In order to gain further pleasure or, I guess, prolong the experiment, the sadist outside the cage would then replace one of the monkeys with a new one. As can be expected, the new guy would spot the banana, think “why don’t these idiots go get it?!” and start climbing the ladder. Then, however, it got interesting: the other four monkeys, familiar with the cold-water treatment, would run towards the new guy – and beat him up. The new guy, blissfully unaware of the cold-water history, would get the message: no climbing up the ladder in this cage – banana or no banana. When the beast outside the cage would replace a second monkey with a new one, the events would repeat themselves – monkey runs towards the ladder; other monkeys beat him up; new monkey does not attempt to climb again – with one notable detail: the first new monkey, who had never received the cold-water treatment himself (and didn’t even know anything about it), would, with equal vigour and enthusiasm, join in the beating of the new guy on the block. When the researcher replaced a third monkey, the same thing happened; likewise for the fourth until, eventually, all the monkeys had been replaced and none of the ones in the cage had any experience or knowledge of the cold-water treatment. Then, a new monkey was introduced into the cage. It ran toward the ladder only to get beaten up by the others. Yet, this monkey turned around and asked “why do you beat me up when I try to get the banana?” The other four monkeys stopped, looked at each other slightly puzzled and, finally, shrugged their shoulders: “Don’t know. But that’s the way we do things around here”… ---------- Now my question, does this behavior remind you to some human groups who are thousands years old? They don't know why they do things but damm they will bash the monkeys who don't do the same. |

almost, but not quite. 1. I honestly believe that THEY DO KNOW why they do what they do. 2. Animals don't (as far as we know) have religious beliefs - so on this footing alone - they are better than man. |

Its to do with childhood indoctrination. If you are at school and get taught the alphabet, then 2+2=4 then the world was created by a mystical sky pixie you are going to believe it as fact. Schools should teach ALL religions or none. Otherwise its just brainwashing that make people come out with the kind of sentence spoken by the god fearer in the previous post. |

Threatening me with burning in hell for eternity (neither of which exist) is like threatening to beat me to death with a feather. |

If the above did die horrible deaths then why did your god let that happen? Doesnt he love us all? Or does he only get credit when good things happen? Thought so. Live your own life. No one is watching and no one cares. |

Anyone who expects others to die for their 'glory' sounds like a bit of a cunt to me. PS, the Harry Potter books are definitive proof that wizards exist. They even made a film about it and everything! |

Why is god giving us the whole ebola thing right now by the way? Won't he think about the children??? And you do know this website is dedicated to a band with a homosexual lead singer don't you? |

Clearly we saw the Christian interpretation of "love thy neighbour" in full force. But as always, arguing with someone who has suspended rational thought is a complete waste of time and energy. You will fall on deaf ears every time. It's like trying to explain calculus to a two year old. Their brain is not equipped to process it. |

glad to hear you're hanging around longer: why?. think about it - if, and it really is a huge "IF" - there is any God, and he's the same God YOU worship...consider this: the longer YOU stay here spouting bile and uttering verbal excrement, then the more likely the chance of YOUR God dispatching you somewhere that the ambient daytime temperature is 7800degs your ass is gonna fry you nasty little fuckwit must be a sad state of affairs for you when even your "imaginary friend" (God) hates you too lol |
