An American think tank called the Pew Charitable Trust recently surveyed young adults and found that less people now believe in God. God damn it. Yes the very idea that has held together so many civilizations through their opinions and bloody skirmishes about the definition of and miracles from. Now this disturbing trend definitely puts a spotlight on the need to find an alternative skirmish worthy topic.
C'mon citizens start thinking! Are you certain that there is no God? What has led you to come to this ghastly conclusion? Too many of his children are getting the finger? No food, only war. Financial wealth evaporating? Gas at $4 per gallon? Only nincompoops in congress and other elected governments around the world? C'mon think..that cannot be all bad? The Tsunami after all was only restricted to Japan. Could have been worse folks. Someone is watching.
Lets pray that this is not happening. We need an outlet to be the fall back when all blame fails. 'It was God's wish' will now become outdated. That should not be allowed to happen. People now have to tax their already dessicated brains for another solid excuse. What would replace terms like godforsaken? And who better to check in with when earlier 'God only knew'?
This is an all out disaster. Now people can actually take the Lord's name in vain and it will mean nothing - it would be like saying damn it Peter or Ganesh. C'mon lord - time to buckle up and show these cretins a thing or two. What say you?
PS: the only good to come out of this research means that there is now wide acceptance of the idea to call people at UNGODLY hours which is all hours of the day (or night). Which actually is a conundrum since even when people believed in god they also believed that hours could be ungodly?
On an informal mission to read one book a week as long as the eyes allow for such ambition. Fiction or non is not important as long as it entertains and /or educates. To that end the past few weeks have brought a bounty in the form of some wonderful and then not so engaging literature. Among the notables are - Non fiction category: 1. Good arguments by Bo Seo (how to handle a dispute or debate the most efficient way possible) 2. Genesis by Eric Schmidt (and former US Secy of State Henry Kissinger, who recently passed) - how AI might affect our lives as we know it 3. One in a billion - Zarna Garg (an autobiographical look at an Indian born American woman with a bindi narrated in a standup format - yes it is at times cliched but still funny) Fiction: 1. Personal by Lee Child (a vigilante story with Jack Reacher the giant, nomad protagonist of Child's novels goes hunting for a sniper) 2. Ramayana unraveled by Ami Ganatra (she might disagree about it being a work of fiction but oh wel...
