I found the following letter among a batch of mails returned by my Server.
Although written eight years ago, I find no reason to alter a word of it.

In your eternity, O God, my Creator, may I pray that you bring PEACE to this insignificant planet which is supposed to be unique in this part of the Universe? Otherwise please admit that your experiment with our species has miscarried. In that case wipe us all out and begin work again in your laboratory for a different kind of life form. From the first breath to the present it has been a ferocious struggle to live. Human history has been nothing but a running stream of blood carrying corpses. If not war, disease and pestilence have played their part in adding to your people's misery. If not disease, 'natural' catastrophes have wiped out life and land. If not catastrophes, human inventions found even more cruel ways to torture and to kill. In the short, but unbelievably long, human development, it is impossible to find just one single DAY when universal happiness and love ruled all over us. Your gift to us, to Exist, to Be, is a miraculous revelation but it is full of conditions such as illness, emotional and spiritual suffering, ageing and physical suffering before death. No one has yet explained this scheme of things. In spite of all that, no one wants to die and get out of it all? Are they afraid that a much worse existence is waiting for them at the end of the Universe?
You have sent your messengers to us, to save us, to make us love one another, to purge Adam's sin, whatever that may be, to live happily together. All they have done is botch things up! They have turned man against man, man against woman and woman against man, house against house, nation against nation. You have not endowed your creatures with enough intelligence to understand the messages that your prophets have brought, and those who understood and tried to interpret those messages, the crowds killed. It is in the deafness of your eternal silence that the masses seek your voice for comfort but they hear nothing. But I am grateful, O God, even so, for having given me the faculty to sleep. AND TO BE ABLE TO DREAM...
