Send a message to God.

What a good way to say it...

Excerpt:
In the wake of the tsunami disaster, it's time for believers to take a more proactive role in world events. It's time to boycott God.

Centuries of uncritical worship have clearly produced a monster. God knows that he can sit passively by while human life is wantonly mowed down, and the next day, churches, synagogues, and mosques will be filled with believers thanking him for allowing the survivors to survive. The faithful will ask him to heal the wounded, while ignoring his failure to prevent the disaster in the first place. They will excuse his unwillingness to stave off destruction with alibis ("God wasn't there when the tsunami hit"—Suketu Mehta) and relativising ("for each victim tens of thousands yet live"—Russell Seitz), even if those excuses contradict God's other attributes, such as omnipresence or love for each individual life.

Another comment on the recently deceased pontiff can be found here.

Excerpt:The papacy is not, in theory, a man-made office at all. Its holder is chosen for life, by God himself, to hold the keys of Peter and to be the vicar of Christ on earth. This is yet another of the self-imposed tortures that faith inflicts upon itself. It means that you have to believe that the pope before last, who held on to the job for a matter of weeks before dying (or, according to some, before being murdered) was either unchosen by God in some fit of celestial pique, or left unprotected by heaven against his assassins. And it means that you have to believe that the public agony and humiliation endured by the pontiff was also part of some divine design. In the case of a presidency, or even a monarchy, provision can be made for abdication and succession when physical and mental deliquescence occur. But there could obviously not have been any graceful retirement in the case of John Paul II. The next vicar of Christ could hardly be expected to perform his sacred duties knowing that there was a still-living vicar of Christ, however decrepit, on the scene. Thus, and as with the Schiavo case, every last morsel of misery has been compulsorily extracted from the business of death. For the people who credit the idea, apparently, heaven can wait. Odd.

How radical the views of the netizens. We have lesbian couples, cool as shit-on-drugs bloggers like raymi (my current favourite), [xiaxue you can go suck on her nipples], and tony pierce and cool hard trash talking, alternative view people on slate.msn.com.

Religion is crutch. A crutch for those who cannot and will not believe that Man is ultimately a fuck and die person. They want to feel purpose, they want to feel that they are important to someone. they want to feel a sense of belonging.

guess what. dream is over lover boy. You are alone. you are nothing. you are a fuck machine. you are here to procreate and die. sure sure, subscribe to any idealogy you like, zen: there is no shit, islam:that shit happens is the will of Allah, christian:forgive our shit. just know that it is a fearful thing to die. to switch off just like my little acer 8104 laptop here. power off, screen goes blank and black, and tada, new cache and memory when i restart it again.

So dear God, Allah, Jehovah, Buddha, Confusing Confucious, Plato, Descartes, Scientology God. whatever.

Where were you when the Tsunami struck?
Where were you when 9-11 happened?
Where were you when wars broke out?
Where were you when the bomb blast in Southern Thailand Airport killed 2?

The Earth has survived for 4.2 billion years. In another few billion years, the sun will become a supernova and engulf this planet. and life will start again somewhere in the universe.
