Dear God,

Dear God,

If you truly exist, and are truly omnipotent, then I will be glad to know that you will get this letter. I am writing to you to complain about your appalling incompetence, and your massive hypocrisy in the creation of this world.

Today I read a friend's blog who wrote about Rachel Corrie, an activist who died while standing against a bulldozer that tried to break down a palestinian home.

In her words, she wrote "She died at age 21 in 2003, crushed by Israeli bulldozers when she tried to prevent it from demolishing a Palestinian home."

So young, and to have died such a horrible death.

The current events in Gaza have led me to believe that you are, at least, a hypocrite. You send your prophets and your angels to preach that we should be good to each other, and that we should be kind to one another, and yet, for all that power you wield, you let thousands of people die horrible, unfair deaths everyday. You promise a wonderful afterlife, but I am not bought, dear God; You seem to have put a neat category of Heaven and Hell, but exclusively reserve judgement to which we have no part in.

I then ask you, dear Divine one, to lend me your power, and let me take over your job.

With such power in my hands I will redesign your creations, I would create a shining new world that everyone can participate in. I will change the very nature of Man, and if Man truly cannot be happy, I will snuff out our existence with one stroke.

I will eliminate pain and suffering, and no one shall, or can challenge this notion. It is a twisted, poor display of logic to say that some exist merely as a contrast to what happiness is, and I will not accept it. I will have no one suffer merely to make others happy.

If you cannot, or will not, change the world, then it is time you stepped down and let me be heaven's justice. I will undo the wrongs that you have committed.

Amin.
Khairie
