Born Mestanza, Ciudad Real, Spain, in 1944. Translator EN-FR-NL-DE into ES. Lived in Madrid, Córdoba, Gran Canaria, Lübeck, Leidschendam, Groningen and now in Guardamar, Alicante. Interests: the above mentioned one, languages, my 3 sons, meditation (Prem Rawat's techniques, yoga, psychology, philosophy, sociology, history, religion & politics (same shelf?), science & technology, sports, humor, travelling and too many more things.

I want to tell you a joke I have invented, thinking of the tragic and comic history of religions:

A Christian, a Hinduist, a Buddhist, a Jew, a Moslim and an atheist were travelling in a car, then had a sudden crash, died and ended up on heaven's door, where God showed up. A believer asked:

- Tell us Lord, who of us was right? Are you a Hinduist, a Buddhist, a Jew, a Christian or a Muslim?

To which God replied:

- I am an atheist.

- How can you explain that?

- If I were a believer of any kind I would have to worship myself, which would be against the humility that I have been trying to teach you through all the Prophets, who really preached the same truth, that you are all my sons, and I am within you all, but when they died you made them say something different.

After that, they came into heaven, the believers kept on practicing their own religions, and the atheist thought: "I knew I was right".

Books I liked as to read more than once:
