Children of lesser God?

Whoever coins a phrase like that? I initially thought that it was a typo and meant something like “children of lesser good”, but that made little sense as well. After a call to a friend, it was confirmed that it was correct indeed. “Children of lesser God” implies all the people of lesser fortune apparently. WTF.

There is no God. It’s unfortunate that while you and I are spending time surfing the net, there are people sleeping in a slum. Someone comes along who coins a phrase that attributes the latter sect to a vengeful God of all things. As I’ve grown older, I’ve transformed from an avid devotee to a skeptic agnostic to a firm atheist. I wish people would stop making phrases that use the lord’s name in vain and instead said things that spoke for what they were. There are folks whose lives suck. It isn’t ‘cos God has subordinates that take care of some; and like most employees, they aren’t doing their job right.

I don’t know why I got so worked up about the phrase when I first read it. I guess I don’t want these children to exist. I don’t want to think of the intricacies of human life. And least of all, I don’t want their existence to be justified with an even lamer reason like God willed them to be.
