Letters To God

Dear God,

I've worked hard all my life, been honest and fair but can't find a job after the CEO took all the cash and ran away. He's off living the good life on an island while I and my family are facing life on the streets. Doesn't hard work and honesty count for anything?

Signed, Working Class Zero


Dear Zero,

In a word: no.

Dear God,

I'm a child soldier who's doped and drugged and sent out across mine fields in front of the adult army people. Every hour day and night is a nightmare, I keep seeing my friends blown to pieces in my dreams. I can never escape this even for a moment. What can I do? I don't understand.

Signed, Frightened Fodder


Dear Fodder,

Sucks to be you!

Dear God,

I've been framed for a crime I didn't commit by an over-zealous prosecutor, a lazy judge and corrupt cops all of whom are looking to justify their jobs at my expense and at expense of the truth. I'm facing twenty five years for a crime I didn't commit and no one will listen to me!

Signed, Framed and Fucked


Dear Fucked,

Don't bend over for the soap!

Dear God,

I'm an honest banker and I have a way to prevent my evil co-workers from carrying off a plan that will harm millions of people. But they are plotting against me and I cannot stop them. Why can't I be allowed to enforce the right thing to do?

Signed, An Honest Buck


Dear Buck,

God only knows! (Oops, I mean I only know!)

****************

Dear God,

In the movies the good guys always win and the bad guys always lose but in real life it's just the opposite. Why is everyone lying about what is happening?

Signed, Muddled at the Movies


Dear Muddled,

How the hell should I know? I'm up here, you're down there. You're on your own, pal!
