There are too many religions in this world to be able to count all of them. Some, for example are, the religion of Myanmar, Christianity, etc. It\’s not easy to distinguish between all of these and find out who is telling the truth.

We come to a point where either we\’re bored of it, tired of them shoving it down our throats, or just disappointed at what we see even from the \”so called\” ministers and what not.

The situation gets so bad that our trust in religion is just so thin. We don\’t know who or what to believe.

Over the years I\’ve learned that the best way to take religion is not to take it from the people who try and \”convert\” you. Take it from the direct source. If you\’re a Christian, your source would be the bible. ETC. Everyone has faults, everyone stumbles. We\’re all hypocrites.

Besides, it\’s not really like you can learn the complete story about a religion from one person alone. They will always put their own opinions into it.

Even though many religions out there claim to have the one and only \”god\” or the only powerful \”gods\” I\’ve come to realize that most preach one thing.

They all believe firmly in Justice. And to be honest this is not such a bad thing to believe in. I no longer ignore all religion that is thrown at me.

I learn, and perhaps even give the person, book, entertainer a chance to convert me. In the end, even if this particular belief isn\’t for you, you will always learn something new and maybe beneficial to your life.

And isn\’t knowledge everything? Wouldn\’t we simply be a routine without knowledge?

Everything that you see, touch, feel, eat, have, want, need, grow, etc. Is this all there is to life? What else are we planned for? What\’s the big idea? Haven\’t we all asked this before?

I whole-heartedly believe that we should always, no matter what, seek to improve what we know of this life and its people.

There are so many religions to pick from and learn from, which one to start with? Well, there is Catholicism- did you know that the Virgin Mary had more sons than just Jesus? Or even the religion of Myanmar for example… have you even heard of it before? Lean, live, embrace, and die happy. Die with knowledge!

There was a card craftsman who, as a French military commander, battled alongside Joan of Arc. His name was Etienne de Vignolles, known as La Hire. The courage and heroism of the legendary maid of Orleans so impressed him he removed the knight from a deck of cards and replaced it with a dame. Decorating cards with religious motifs or those depicting humans did not raise the wrath of the Catholic church. The king of spades was designed after King David including his sword and quiver. Charles the Great became the king of clubs, Julius Caesar the king of diamonds, and Alexander the Great was symbolized by the king of hearts. These four members of the monarchy came together to represent the four springboards of western civilization.

Today\’s Queens and Jacks did not follow such a consistent path. The queen of spades represented the goddess Athena, which could also have been a representation of that kindred warrior, Joan of Arc. Rachel depicted the queen of diamonds whose husband, Jacob, waited around for 14 years to marry her. Somewhat disturbingly, the queen of hearts represented Judith, who quite unromantically cut off the head of Holofernes. The queen of clubs did not follow this same pattern. She represented a collection of images that formed Argine, an abstract favorite of kings, whose name appears to be an anagram of \”regina\” (queen). This also could be a possible reference again to Joan of Arc, as Charles the Great, the French Catholic major domo, was the king of clubs.

A knight from Charlemagne\’s court served as prototype for the jack of spades; Hector – for diamonds; la Hire for hearts; and Judas Maccabeus for clubs. As a variation of this, the four jacks represented four famous knights, with their names printed below them on the cards: Lancelot, Ogier, Roland, and Valery. Youthful, beardless, warriors with long haircuts wielded a battle axe. All except Valery (who happened to be the chief craftsman of that deck) had a scent hound at their feet.

Going lower on the scale, we have cards ten down to two, marked with their corresponding number and value. The Ace which was an English word meaning \”unit\” had translations in French, Spanish, German and other equivalents as well, such as: as, ass, aus, etc. The Ace was ranked lower than even the two. This greatly upset the Catholic Church of the middle ages as God was \”one\” and any numeric system defining His number as lowly was blasphemous and smacked as consorting with the devil. Should you disagree with this theory, you would undoubtedly come to see it their way on your way to the dungeon.

The Ace of today symbolizes a quintessential quality freely associated with any number of entities. It is of greater value than any one personage. But can any card in the deck be a stand-in for the crassness of science or metaphysical meanderings of the mind?

The question remains as arguable today as it was during the middle ages. In many countries there is no clear cut distinction between spiritual and earthly values, both being essential to present-day self definition. Today perhaps more than ever, any good citizen reveres the national, the mystical, the quantum-physical, and the downright pornographic of Esquire decks. The Ace is all or nothing, depending on how you see the contemporary concoction of concepts, and symbolizes best, perhaps, a kind of postmodern rhetorical indeterminacy which can take you anywhere or nowhere.

Otherwise, the cards serve us pretty much as they served any specific class or a mixture of class during the middle ages or the Renaissance. The basic hierarchy of the deck from King to lowest number, and the 2.598.960 possible combinations of varying value, the value of combinations decided by their rarity, allow ample possibility to project anybody\’s social and spiritual aspirations.
