Oh God!

Ok i'd read this some time back. It had come as a forward. All I ask is:

If cold is absence of heat, darkness is absence of light, evil is absence of good, and Satan is absence of God, whom do i hold responsible for this mass absentism?

The problem I have with such forwards is that they over-simplify everything. It sure wud be bathos at its extreme best if centuries of debate could be explained away in one forwarded email. Coming to a mailbox near you - the answer to life, universe and everything.

PS: No offence meant to Pulse, believers in general or Albert Einstein.


Comments:
oye.. whenever that kinda emails come out - i want all my ids on it :):)
i for one, used to igonre such emails, but lately, i read each of them top to bottom, sure beats reading the CTX manual - 1260 pages of pure technology.. :)
 
Got this on a fwd:

A young lady is alone in her apartment. She goes to bed with her dog on the
floor beside her. In the middle of the night, she is woken up by a strange
sound. She is alarmed, but reaches down to the dog, who licks her hand. She is
reassured and goes back to sleep. In the morning, she finds the dog hung in
the shower. Where the dog slept, she picks up a note which reads 'Humans can
lick too,"
 
so, followers of stephen hawking... can take offence... i'm offended.... and seema.... urgh!!!!
 
Arey Bhagwan is absent cuz he passed away a couple of years back. Bhagwan ko agar dekhna hai toh puraana movie dekho!
 
Dreams - I understand your point of view. I will post all forwards I get into your latest post's comment box.

Seema - your point being? What you might be thinking is a sign that God exists may actually be an encounter with Satan?

Droilfade - Sure, take the offence. Free me!

Zap - Yeah bhagwan passed away. I saw him. He was on a honda activa
 
What??? Bhagwan passed away!!! and no one told me.
What will all those women in hindi movies do... how will they say "Bhagwan ke liye mujhe chod do"?
Chrys, Bhagwan ke liye remove this word verification....pleeeeeaase.

iiklad zindabad!
 
No no... he passed away since he was a Kidney Stone fan.. er Rolling Stone fan.
 
Neat! I didn't know that the student was Einstein Mama... Maybe the answers to life aren't complex after all...

So we should put notices and posters on the streets saying - "The answer to life, universe and everything... never coming to you. Courtesy, Mad blogger philosophy junkies like Chrysanthemum and AC."
 
I think there's a thick line between being faithful and being delusional. Not EVERYTHING is God's creation...implying God cant be held responsible for everything. Maybe in a broader sense, we ourselves are responsible for the absentism.
hey but we can still pretend that 42 is a suitable enough answer yo!
 
If we are responsible for the absence of God, corollary to this is that man created God.
 
Maybe this God person won a Booker in his first creation and then went all wrong with the successive ones he he he.
Pardon me Vikram Seths and the Arundhati Roys
