Hell, we are in the 21st century and we are still consulting astrologers. Anura, Premadasa, Sirimavo and JR went to that paedophile Sai Babha to invoke blessings and he pulled out gold chains and ashes from his front sleeve.

Let us pardon Sirimavo ‘cos she did not progress beyond Grade8 at St Bridget’s and her speeches were prepared by the assassinator of her husband SWRD Buddha Rakkita Thero.

Let us also pardon Anura since he could not be arsed with finishing his term at Oxbridge. Add on Premadasa whose education was limited to evening classes at St Joseph’s.

Do we still need politicians who would trek to India and invoke blessings and tie endless threads on their wrists by holy priests that they fail to realise their fate is already sealed.

So could we let ourselves forward to the 21st century and take our own destiny in our hands. Shine the torch within and make sense of sensibility in managing our land with rationale.

Let us pay heed to scientists and environmentalists who are closer to God and nature than soothesayers and charlatans.

How we invoke religion to wage wars on enemies in the name of religion is something that baffles me no end.

Premadasa’s life was not spared despite all th blessings of Sathya Sri Sai Baba who like Rajneesh ( with his private airstrip) had his own monetary portfolio hoodwinking the Americans seeking solace from a materialistic world.

We are but living a dream if we still believe in pseudo priests and their producing material welath out of nowhere.

The floods we experience are not produced by politicians but by the politicians whose short-sightedness and selfish interests far superceded rational forward planning.

My oh my, when will we ever learn.

Well, justita,you have forgotten to include in your long list of superstitions;the miracles performed at churches which “cures” cancer patients,the so called miracle nights of healing the deaf,the blind,and the crippled(anything short of raising the dead )the criminal acts of depriving the sick of medication,blood transfusions and praying till they die……
