More advice for Screwtape

Posted by Tim Fletcher on 16 Feb 2009

C.S.Lewis may have advised Screwtape thus after the recent news concerning the death of two year old Sanam at the hands of her parents...
 

I understand that your atheists may be feeling injustice at the news today. My advice is to try this attempt:

The injustice you feel over the death of Sanam Navsarka are to quote our new unbible "The God Delusion" by that lovely Richard Dawkins are "misfirings of Darwinian evolution". Although they may have helped the survival of the group, your feelings do not naturally selectively fit, and the consequences of helping weak unfortunates probably will not benefit the gene pool. We maybe should execute or sterilise the perpetrators as bad genetic material, but on the other hand they may be survivors.

So as the buses cheerfully tell us, "There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying, and enjoy your life."
