Shake-speare and God: a Tale of Conspiracies.





I see many people who ignore that Shake-speare (as it appears in almost half the works published between 1598 and 1604) is a pseudonym of the mastermind of the English Renaissance Edward de Vere attack this fact with the allegation that it is a conspiracy. I have no doubt that they think themselves smarter by following the main theory that an illiterate frontman called William Shakspere was the true author, although his death in 1616 was not celebrated nor mourned in England, and his parents and children were all illiterate. Ben Jonson was mourned when he died, and was not half the author Shake-speare was. Something is smelling funny here. Is this fact digested? Most people ignore it.

   But the point of these words is that this very same people that laugh at the possibility that Shake-speare (the Shaker of Spears) was a man forced to be forever banned to claim his works because it implies a conspiracy (and the Virgin Queen Elizabeth I not being virgin is here the reason, with the new Stuarts now reigning in England as the power that controls that prohibition) are themselves believers in a hidden God who created the world as a way to test humans. Is his fact digested? Most people ignore it.

   That is, if you think a conspiracy this huge like Queen Elizabeth I having had children (and one of them was Edward de Vere, aka Shake-speare) is impossible, you should explain to me how the majority of people believe in a hidden God who has created the greatest jumbo conspiracy in the world.

   As I am a naturalist (atheist with spirituality), I may agree that it is impossible to believe that a benevolent God should have created the whole Cosmos just to locate some mammals in a tiny rock around an average star, inside a medium-size galaxy among millions and millions of galaxies, just to have some theater running where he is the audience and the critic and is having fun. I agree this conspiracy makes no sense. But here is where the majority of people surprises me: they believe in this jumbo conspiracy blindly.

  How can these critics of any conspiracy think that Shake-speare could not have been a great Lord in hiding writing about State matters with a pseudonym (he used many others), when they revere anything coming from a book called the Bible were God is creating a Cosmic conspiracy, where the greatest secret is that he is not to be seen and all his rules are different from place to place, time to time, and book to book? The question has an easy answer: those who criticize a theory always forget their own one. There is no absolute theory, only theories who are better or more correct to the facts. Now, if you are one of the believers in a religion (and there are thousands of different religions around the world, and those who are invented each day), you should ask yourself: How can this Cosmic conspiracy be considered a serious theory accepted by sane people, including myself, of course?

   And the answer is: the world is a madhouse, and the first thing you learn when you have been learning to think deeply on the facts of the world is this: when you do not want something to be changed, you ignore it. Ignorance is bliss. But not for me.
