God, The Savior

Yesterday I was watching "The last temptation of Christ"

They show that Jesus is rescued & he's not a messiah. There's an interesting scene which goes on like this.(I changed the dialogues as I dont remember them word by word)

He sees a preacher talking about Jesus & resurrection. Jesus goes to the priest asks

"Did u see Jesus after resurrection?"

"No I did not. But his disciples did."

"They couldnt have. I'm jesus. Neither did I die nor was I ressurrected."

"Y do I care? People want a savior and god. So I give them that. It doesnt matter whether you are dead or not. I dont care."

"I'm going to tell people."

"They will kill you. " While leaving the preacher says "Oh! BTW it was nice meeting you."

This got me thinking. ISnt that what people want? A security that there's some1 to look after me. Some1 to redeem me from my sins. Some place nice to go after death.

People love the idea of the savior, would love to believe in one. Whether he exists or not, doesnt really matter.

The person I dont want to be

It is Terri Schiavo. Poor woman has been kicked around so much. Neither her parents nor her husband want her to live or die in peace.

I really feel sorry for her. She has been in a vegetative state for 15 years now. Doctors say chances for her recovery are almost nil. I'm a supporter of euthanasia. I totally support her decision to die, if that is what she wanted.

At the sametime, I understand the fact that her parents have a problem with accepting that her daughter may not recover. It is tough on any parents. Now these conservative groups jump in for thier own political gains, adding another angle to it.

Whatever the decision might be it's not fair to either parents or husband. But the way she's being treated now(remove the tube today, feed her tomorrow) is not fair for Terri.

Let her live, let her die. But whatever it is, leave her alone. Dont torture the poor woman anymore.
