These days dealing with my latest book Artificial Heaven, the soldiers of the Guard of the Prophets are on the attack to convince me that there is only one way to heaven and it is through death.
Some friends sent me messages during the interview on A2 CNN with journalist Andrea Danglii, which doesn't happen to me often.
Although freed from the feminine pressure of Euronews Albania, where he worked when I met him, Andrea Danglili was a little excited during the interview with me and apparently not only because of my fault.
As he asked me some questions about Christ, Muhammad and God, Andrea Dangli received a lot of criticism and comments from groups that defend the prophets asking him to read some of their comments.
He didn't do it ethically, but he passed some on my phone.
Here is one of the comments: paradises are enslaving utopias. Humanity has often dreamed and tried them and they have ended badly. Albania still has not recovered from the paradise without God that was promised to it by communism.
Or another: Blushi's idea is not original. This type of paradise without God was promoted by the Serpent in the Garden of Eden. There is nothing new under the sun.
Here's another one: Human wickedness cannot be removed without heart surgery, and the only one who has been able to do this is Christ. He took the evil of man upon himself and promises to dwell within the heart that accepts surrender to him. Even Blushi knows that only Jesus has tamed man. There is no heaven without Christ.
It is not the first time that I understand that the Guard of the Prophets, that is, those people who protect the prophets from people like me, are very attentive. In one case they invited me to a debate and there I said what I think.
Prophets have no reason to defend themselves because no one threatens them. They are part of our culture and at the time they lived they did their mission by preaching good against evil. Harsh humanity has in some cases been softened by their teachings, as it has been hardened in others.
But unfortunately, the Christianity and Islam we know today are not what Jesus or Muhammad intended. Both religions changed and were enriched along the way by thousands of clergy and numerous religious schools. The states used the prophets for earthly domination and moral control and in a sense wounded them by putting them at war with each other.
Jesus of Nazareth was born and died a Jew and neither was nor wanted to be a Christian, while Muhammad has been much more liberal than many of those who are ready to defend him for things he did not have in mind nor told him as it is claimed.
But since the Guard of the Prophets claims to have a monopoly on the truth, it occasionally pokes holes in the letters of my books, disturbing passionate journalists like Andrea Dangli.
These days dealing with my latest book Artificial Heaven, the soldiers of the Guard of the Prophets are on the attack to convince me that there is only one way to heaven and it is through death.
So they say that to go to heaven you have to die and that's one of the things we don't agree on.
Unlike them, I want to hope that there are other ways to get to Heaven and it can be enjoyed without dying.
I think that in the future human society can be a kind of paradise freed from lies, from ingratitude, from torture, from diseases, from physical work, from wars and from religious and national divisions.
All the people of the world will belong to one united people, one race and one culture, one civilization that will speak one language and be equally developed. Wars, misery and religion will be forgotten and perhaps replaced by general well-being.
Intelligent technology that will overcome man's limitations to explore the mind and nature will create so much abundance on our planet and on other planets that humanity will populate so quickly that there will be no reason to kill and divide.
By going to other planets, humanity will increase and find so many natural resources that wars for land, oil, water and minerals on planet Earth will seem futile.
This is more or less the Paradise I talk about in the book Artificial Paradise.
The generations to come will have the opportunity to live it laughing with all those who today believe that you have to die to go to a more beautiful and livable place that the ancient Greeks called paradeisos, an enclosed park, that I I would like to translate it as: where we were before God.
When this time comes, the Guard of the Prophets will look like the Swiss Guard that protects the Vatican today. People follow her curiously to take pictures because she is an exotic object whose colorful clothes are worth more than weapons.
