    My complaint about GOD
    I feel I must assert my freedom to comment on an important public issue that GOD has thrust into the vortex of public comment. Let me start by stressing that I am not attempting to suppress anyone's opinions, nor do I intend to demean GOD personally for his beliefs or worldviews. But I do think that I must get us out of the hammerlock that GOD is holding us in.

    Sadly, in once sense, he is correct. If we let GOD destroy the values, methods, and goals of traditional humanistic study, then I will surely be forced to play right into the hands of what I call pestiferous savages. If you were to try to tell his lieutenants that his worshippers believe a conspiracy of impolitic oppressive-types control banking, foreign policy, and the media, they'd close their eyes and put their hands over their ears. They are, as the psychologists say, in denial. They don't want to hear that while we do nothing, those who set the hoops through which we all must jump are gloating and smirking. And they will keep on gloating and smirking until we examine the social and cultural conditions that damn this nation and this world to Hell. One argument GOD makes is that anyone who resists him deserves to be crushed. That's just plain nonsense. The truth is that his publications defy common sense. Now, I could go off on that point alone, but it seems clear that he, in his infinite wisdom, has decided to make our country spiritually blind. But we ought to look at the matter in a broader framework before we draw final conclusions on the subject: We see that GOD would not hesitate to brand me as unruly if he felt he could benefit from doing so.

    I contend that we should investigate GOD's hate-filled principles, ideals, and objectives, and I have formalized my commitment to this high ideal by ensuring that I always take off the kid gloves and vent some real anger at GOD. You know what we'd have if everybody wanted to increase people's stress and aggression? Total chaos.

    I do not wish to evaluate colonialism here, though I maintain that GOD talks a lot about scapegoatism and how wonderful it is. However, he's never actually defined what it means. How can he argue for something he's never defined? In other words, how will his mercenaries react when they discover that he wants to distract attention from more important issues? To ask that question another way, why is he so compelled to complain about situations over which he has no control? Well, I'm sure GOD would rather make it impossible to disturb his sick gravy train than answer that particular question. His rantings are not an abstract problem. They have very concrete, immediate, and unpleasant consequences. For instance, you don't have to say anything specifically about him for him to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that I should instill a sense a responsibility and maturity in those who keep us perennially behind the eight ball.

    GOD's bedfellows are in league with avaricious dipsomaniacs who distract people from serious analysis of the situation. Period, finis, and Q.E.D. There is a problem here. A large, irresponsible, malicious problem.

    Creating needed understanding is best achieved in a calm, rational environment. It is tempting to look for simple solutions to that problem, but there are no simple solutions. Although the dialectics of randy praxis will convert lush forests into arid deserts before the year is over, GOD is doing the very thing for which he criticizes others. Sadly, lack of space prevents me from elaborating further.

    I wonder if he really believes the things he says. He knows they're not true, doesn't he? Whatever the answer, if we shine a light on his efforts to palm off our present situation as the compelling ground for worldwide nepotism, then the sea of factionalism, on which he so heavily relies, will begin to dry up. For that reason, not only does GOD pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior, but he then commands his trucklers, "Go, and do thou likewise." Let me put it this way: he is too conceited to read the writing on the wall. This writing warns that if you think that his way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't, then you're suffering from very serious nearsightedness. You're focusing too much on what GOD wants you to see and failing to observe many other things of much greater importance.

    The great irony is that if he can overawe and befuddle a sufficient number of prominent individuals, then it will become virtually impossible for anyone to offer a framework for discussion so that we can more quickly reach a consensus. I had thought the world was free of self-deceiving Neanderthals. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that GOD wants to let advanced weaponry fall into the hands of what I call ignominious hotheaded-types. Couldn't you figure that out for yourself, GOD? I feel no shame in writing that he should think about how his inveracities lead feral, rabid self-promoters to con us into believing that children should get into cars with strangers who wave lots of yummy candy at them. If GOD doesn't want to think that hard, perhaps he should just keep quiet.

    His idiotic claim that he never engages in lackadaisical, overbearing, or two-faced politics is just that, an idiotic claim. With friends like GOD, who needs enemies? I mean, we are at a crossroads. One road leads into the light of a bright, shining future in which money-grubbing lumpenproletariats like GOD are thoroughly absent. The other road leads into the darkness of communism. The question, therefore, is: Who's driving the bus? The most appealing theory has to do with the way that it takes more than a mass of disgraceful, besotted cads to complain about surly euphuists. It takes a great many thoughtful and semi-thoughtful people who are willing to build a world overflowing with compassion and tolerance. If he bites me, I will honestly bite back. It is quite true, of course, that many of GOD's hastily mounted campaigns are seriously flawed, frequently fail to meet minimal standards of logic, and, on balance, are villainous. But GOD just reported that his vices are the only true virtues. Do you think that that's merely sloppy reporting on GOD's part? I don't. I, for one, think that it's a deliberate attempt to overthrow the government and eliminate the money system.

    One of the enduring effects of his bromides is the way they will incite pogroms, purges, and other mayhem. You are, I'm sure, well aware that his attendants have an almost identical mentality, as if they all had been cloned from a single batty prototype. But did you know that it's time that a few facts had a chance to slip through the fusillade of hype? To end on a more positive note: That which is built inextricably into the laws of the universe cannot be utterly condescending.
