SUING god


Someone should sue god.

For what, you say? For the millions stolen in the Middle Ages from the thousands burned at the stake. For our Native American, Hawaiian, Irish and other ancestors tortured until they promised to love Him, and who then turned psychotic. For the millions of children tortured until they promised to love Him, and who then turned psychotic. For the hundreds murdered in past years by suicide bombers slaughtering for allah. I could continue, but you get my drift.

It's god, not people, who needs to be punished. After all, we are only people. We're so frighteningly easy to brainwash.

Might be a little hard to pin the old boy down, but his representatives from the Catholic Church carried out his genocides and brainwashing and still are today on Indian Reservations all over America. Seems to me it's about time for a class action suit asking for reparations for the destruction of American Culture and for driving Goddess worship underground.

A class action suit! I love it. Let's see. The plaintiffs would be Goddess worshippers, pagans, Native Americans, Hawaiians, atheists, and any American whose ancestors were forced against their will to worship Jehovah or Allah. I think we have them outnumbered about 10 to 0, don't you?

Have you ever read Angels in America? It's one of my favorite plays, and there's a great scene where one of the main characters, Prior, is in a dilapidated Heaven confronting the angels who chose him to be a prophet. He basically tells them to fuck off, and that if God, who abandoned Heaven and humanity to war and misery and AIDS, ever came back, they should "sue the bastard!"

Oh, fantastic. I'm going to have to run right over to Amazon and order a copy. Thanks for the tip, Andygrrl! Sounds like great bedside reading.

Who wrote Angels in America? I've heard of it, I just can't remember...

Tony Kushner. I read it for my Queer Theory class, it's marvelous. It's set during the beginning of the AIDS crisis in the mid 80s, and is alternately sad, humorous, bizarre, and prescient. I've only seen bits and pieces of the HBO adaptation (they sell the DVD of it at Walmart, believe it or not), but it's quite good.
