chowk allows such blasphemy and yet will censure us if we call a murtad a murtad! la hawla wa la quwwata ila billah...

**

the author obviously has pretensions...borrowing from here and there...Iqbal`s impact is obvious that here the idea is perverted to blasphemous ends..I couldn`t even read all of it for fear of insulting some of Allah`s Beloveds...

Acha tho Paracha ji, at least in Pakistan it is said that when one crosses the age of 35
people start getting more religious. However with you Paracha, you have on from becoming a tolerant agnostic to an intolerant and scathing atheist. I this your way of staying young?

PS: Isn`t Pazuzu also the biblical demon//fallen angel also used in those Exorcist movies? And kindly anyone please tell me a bit about all these other demons and angels whose names NFP has used here. Thanka.

Fantastically and origenally done, NFP, but you have been pushing a bit too hard your
pleas for a totally secular world. I second Godot by agreeing more with your Jesus character than either Lucifer or your scheming God figure.

Brilliant absolutely. This just has to be the very best way and in a way darkest way you have yet again pleaded for a ``godless/religionless world`` and I loved it when you suggest to do so more for the sake of God than humans. Great piece of writing, sir like a twisted sci-fiction opera....

Nadeem -

A profound satire. A masterful piece.

However, I don’t agree with “A godless Earth. A peaceful Earth.” I agree with Jesus: “Humans will never be able to survive without God. Without religion ...Without Satan.”

Imagine there`s no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
....John Lennon

Peace is so utopian a term. A godless Earth won`t be a peaceful Earth either. There`s much more to die for .... Why only blame religion!

I`m going to name my next puppy ``Pazuzu``.That`s the only redeeming feature of this drivel.``Pazuzu`` sounds cool.
