Where would Hinduism stand on this....I guess you are just reborn as a cockroach for your sins rather than flattened by an earthquake. Wonder which is worse....
The title of this blog is my homage to a writer and a journalist, a man considered by many to be the conscience of his generation, Eric Blair aka George Orwell - his crystal clear prose, his felicity of language, his incisive grasp of contemporary issues. It strives as language as a clear pane of glass and this blog is an attempt, perhaps deeply inadequate, in that direction.

God, Haiti, Robertson and all that
If you thought Pat Robertson was over the top (as always) believing the Haitians deserved the earthquake for their pact with the devil, think again. Dawkins in fact thinks that Robertson, if anything, is truer to the Christian faith and theological traditions than all the 'moderate' theologians, priests, preachers and others who are trying to disown him. Classic Dawkins' fire and brimstone. Love it....
Or perhaps, just take a dip in the Ganges. No cockroach, no earthquake.
