Pope hope

Yesterday the Pope prayed for peace in the middle east. No one expects this to change anything.

Now, if even God’s best friend on earth can’t effect a change, wouldn’t it be high time that we agreed to the following:

  • God doesn’t give a damn about you
  • therefore praying to him doesn’t work

If the pope can’t get God to stop the war in Gaza – in God’s promised land, no less – perhaps everyone should stop praying and start doing something. Is there anyone who doesn’t think that religion is part of the problem in Gaza? Maybe we should try and remove that barrel of gasoline from the fire? There are still enough problems without religion.

Stop taking your god so serious; start being serious about not killing each other.

Malala.

She publicly petitioned for her right to go to school.

“I dont’ mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education”

At age 14, she was shot in the head.

“Which one of you is Malala Yousafzai?
Speak up, or I will shoot you all”

Declared to be the devil by the Taliban.

“… the symbol of the infidels and obscenity”

Today, the youngest nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Here’s to you, Malala. I hope you win the prize. In my heart you already won.
