Where is God?

Dear mouse,

Time and again, this Ca t makes an appointment with the Big Boss for interview.

So with my laptop and and you, mouse, this is the trascript of my questions and answers with the Boss of the Universe.

GOD:What is it this time, Cat ? I am afraid that it has something to do with the tragedy in Asia.

Ca t: And I haven’t shoot my first question.

GOD: What am I a God for if I cannot read your mind?

Ca t: Borrowing the favorite line of the Law and Order police officers, where were You when this happened ?

GOD: Am I suspect Ca t ? Or you imagine me as one bloodthirsty Being who finds pleasure watching people die by the thousands if not hundreds of thousands.

Ca t: I did not say that, Boss. You are putting words into my mouth. But then, is that true ? (nervous Hehehe)

GOD: I know you have been browsing the internet and I am confident that you have read about the causes of tsunamis.

Ca t: Oh yes. There are many causes, like earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, explosions and even the impact of cosmic bodies, such as meteorites can generate tsunamis.

GOD: Very good Ca t and this latest tsunami was caused by an underwater earthquake.

Ca t: But why did allow so many people to die?

GOD: I am a GOD and I am perfect but my creations are not as perfect as I am or else there will be so many gods. As humans are imperfect, they cause their own disasters. You know that there were thousands of tsunamis that occurred almost everyday in different parts of the world and not every one of them killed so many. I did not create a world that is inert. The world has to change, evolve and revolve or else you would still have been in the Ice age, hiding from the dinosaurs and living in caves with primitive tools.

But you go over board. In your quests for more advancement/progress/development, you destroy natural defenses for these calamities that I know will befall humanity.

You test your nuclear bombs under water. You destroy the coral reefs that shield your coast lines from these big waves. Now you ask why I did not prevent it. Duh?

Ca t : Relax, Boss, just asking. I know that there is a reason for everything that happens, pray tell, what good did this disaster bring.

GOD: Well what do you do in order to prevent a disaster to happen again ?

In the past, people perished by the thousands in China, Japan and Iran.

Calamities can not be prevented but losses in terms of lives and properties can be minimized.

When disaster strikes, you can see the goodness of the people who helped the victims.

Some survivors promise to amend their wrongdoings. Some appreciate that they are alive.

I hate it when I talk a lot, Ca t.

That is supposed to be the work of my ministers, priests, imams and rabbis.

The thing is, I am talking to a Ca t.

Ca t: Thank you for your time, Boss. By the way, don’t you offer anything to your Visitor for refreshment.

GOD: Don't push your luck , Ca t. (thunder and lightning)
