Is Heaven a democracy ?

Amused to read this headline today: " House reinforces support

    for God ". And by a 401-to-5 vote. Nothing like war drums- even more

    effective than Bach - to put the people and their leaders in a pious

    moods. Cynical free thinkers have observed that belief in God - in a

    meddling, anthropomorphic God - is inversely proportional to the evidence.

             Anyway in heaven nobody ever quarrels with God. No such thing

    as democratic debate up there. Until Lucifer came along. Was that guy

    the first original mind, the first FREE THINKER ? Then clearly Satan is

    the patron saint of the ACLU. We will not admit it, but Satan -not God-

    freed us all from boredom !

               And Satan does not demand we sing his praises while he is

    tormenting us. Who dare rebel against eternal crankiness ?

               Yesterday, I overheard a mental patient cursing the Almighty.

    Must have forgotten to take his  daily pill.

               Is war coming ? Praise Bush and pass the Prozac !
