Among all the\u00a0bullshits\u00a0invented<\/a> by the former gods<\/a>\u00a0-these visitors from the\u00a0stars<\/a> who terraformed the planet<\/a>– the best is still the myth\u00a0of good god.<\/span><\/p>\n

For\u00a0bone’s sake\u00a0!! If god was good and perfect, we\u00a0would have seen\u00a0his good job down here! Humans can only rely on self\u00a0strength. No one but you\u00a0can take away your\u00a0weakness. You\u00a0alone can free yourself from the yoke that you\u00a0keep on carrying your\u00a0life long. You\u00a0cheer up\u00a0saying you will get it back\u00a0during the eternal life after death<\/a>. Another ingenious invention of the former gods<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0who did not believe it for themselves: as a proof of their desperate efforts to prolong their corporeal life, up to pretending\u00a0they were eternal. Humans will soon be testing that –\u00a0I bet they have not finished getting lost for this new chimera: to prolong life indefinitely, in the hope of living always<\/a> … Like the former gods, I suppose ?<\/p>\n

Where is\u00a0God in all that mess? Have you seen God\u00a0on earth? Where ? In Hiroshima? At the Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup<\/a>? In Dachau? In Mosul? In Sabra and Shatila<\/a>? To the stonings? To the tortures of the Inquisition? To ritual excisions? To ethnic massacres? In the Black Code<\/a>? On the pyres lighted in his name? In sick, mutilated, invalid, destroyed bodies? Where is the good god, when he\u00a0is invoked in blood and tears? Is he delighted in secret? No\u00a0way. He does not know, because he does not care.<\/p>\n

Frankly, with such a\u00a0good god, I dare not imagine the bad guy! And yet the bad guy exists. Satan is his\u00a0name, also called the devil, the great demon, the Beast. We all know this bad guy, every one of us has met him a thousand times. But who understood his true nature?<\/p>\n

It is not a person of flesh and bone, nor is it an evil entity, spirit, ectoplasm or the like. Needless to imagine a totally bad being, this being exists no more than a totally good being. Humans and gods, we are all a bit of both, mixing good and evil in varying proportions. Another thing: good and evil are not absolute but relative notions. Aren’t they, Prof Einstein<\/a>? Don’t you think so, Prof Nietzsche<\/a>?<\/p>\n

My father was like God: busy elsewhere.<\/p>
