This is why there is so much ugliness in the world.

A comment on Facebook, response to MJ’s memorial on TV last night.

I'm not so sure about that. Caught a little of it. Thought that it was too much fuss made of a life that doesn't seem to have been well spent from heaven's point of view. Jared, who had no clue who MJ was, asked if this guy was going to heaven...that is the crux of it, isn't it?

 

I immediately felt anger, and then sadness.

 

Sadness not for the woman who made the above comment, but sadness for her son. As a functioning adult in this world, do we not have the responsibility to ensure an environment free of fear for our children?

 

A child, beaten into submission by fear, not allowed to expand his mind, not given the chance to explore. Instead, he lives in constant reminder of heaven, and of course, hell.

 

Its a stretch, to assume all this from a Facebook comment.

 

I will end this rant with a quote.

 

Richard Dawkins

"With so many mindbytes to be downloaded, so many mental codons to be replicated, it is no wonder that child brains are gullible, open to almost any suggestion, vulnerable to subversion, easy prey to Moonies, Scientologists and nuns."

 

And this is why there is so much ugliness in the world.
