Start with a cage containing five monkeys. In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result - all the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when any monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

Now, turn off the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm. Again, replace a third original monkey with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four monkeys that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing the fourth and fifth original monkeys, all the monkeys which have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs. Why not? Because that's the way it's always been around here.

And that's how dogmatic fundamentalism begins.

Oh wow !!!!!

And it's when one of the monkeys withstands the attack which actually has at the current time no basis,does some thing change......but the question is,is the banana worth the assault that is sure to be made??

Something really worth pondering upon.

Welcome to the forum!!!! Hope you enjoy debating with all of us here 😊

A good one.😆

Unfortunately most fundamentalist monkeys have never been sprayed with water. They are inherently disruptive and of course - since they have never been sprayed with water, they stink like heck.

Good point....what did I say before? Get rid of all national anthems. We should get rid of government and countries. We should just fight over what religion is better. Time well spent. I mean why should we be wasting time on singing praises for our motherland??? Just cuz its the land we live on, eat off of...Aww phooee.

My personal opinion religion is the root cause of all evil. Religion is just a tool to herd the masses who can't think ethically or morally for themselves. 😛

😆😆😆 But so true...the root cause indeed is th e religion
