"God is a monster ..."
Posted: 02 Feb 2015
Stephen Fry asks some logical enough questions about the nature of our gods.
Largely addressing the Christian god and creator, he asks "why did a God create a world in which there is an insect whose life cycle is to burrow its way out of children's eye making them blind?"
OK, the BKs don't believe their god spirit created this world ... and their "university" study tells us that the insect & blindness is all the child's faults. "It's their bad karma ... they must have been evil to deserve it!".
But why even a perfect and accurate, eternally repeating drama in which the same children are blinded by the same insects every 5,000 years for eternity? ... And how do they think that makes victims feel?
For example, a rape victim or victim of child sex abuse encounters the Brahma Kumaris and they tell them its going to keep happening to them every 5,000 years ... and it was their own fault!!!
And there's no escape from it ever. Is that not equally insane?
It's a sort of terrorism.
