PhDs, Bigots and 377A

Dear Natascha,

It has been eons since I have written to you. Of course, many things have happened along the way. First of all, I see that you have spent adequate time to create dissent among the Singaporeans. After all, it is your job and you earn no praise from your dear uncle Screwtape. Yet, I am fascinated by your brilliant wit to draw out the fundamentalist Christian right in that little red dot.

In fact, we should thank the gays and lesbians who are busy fighting for their right to repeal the infamous Section 377A. It was my job decades ago to slot it into the English parliament as law, only to be repealed by the minions of our enemy. However, by corrupting the enemy's doctrine, we have once demonstrated that the Christians (but not the true ones who believed in Him, our enemy) have once again shot themselves in the foot. Our dark lord was always accused of being the fallen one, and yet, we see the Christians expose the same kind of bigotry. I am so delighted to see the staunchest of all Christians like Yvonne Lee and Thio Li Ann to sank into the roots of intolerance. For dogma descent into fear, fear descent to hatred and hatred descent into suffering, I see a lot of suffering that these self-proclaimed hypocrites who are now telling the world how tolerant and loving their Lord was, but ended being suckered in our dark Lord's teaching of intolerance and hatred.

Equally, I was impressed by your evil whispers to the gay poet that got him infuriated to send a hate email to Thio Li Ann. Shoring up their sentiments made both extremes to start a war. After all, as you serve to help the current regime to stay in power, I am happy that you have helped your client to sieve out the far Christian right (like the American ones which my other colleagues have corrupted in the Bible Belt). Start to tell these Christians that Science is rubbish and they should believe in Intelligent Design and shun evolution. If we move enough of them into the dark ages, we would see the emergence of another dark age. After all, we have made some extremists lately. Do you remember your demonic brother for corrupting a Saudi named Osama Bin Laden?

They do not realize it, don't they? Recently, you sent me a newspaper article of why there are no Nobel prize winners in Singapore. Of course, they will find it hard to produce one. They did not realize that we poison their brightest with religious dogma and extreme values. So what if they produce the greatest number of PhDs? They forgot that PhDs are humans and if you want more examples of stupidity for the future, you should start corrupting the scholars at A-STAR and you see them serving as slaves in the Biopolis. Of course, our top three corrupted PhD holders are now shown in the public as bigots and morons. The first one is Chee Soon Juan, who is still spending his time with a loud hailer and doing solo protest. The second and third one are the anti-gay PhD holders in Law. Guess what, the best place to make bigots out of PhDs is in the law faculty. Man made laws and break them too. Thio and Yvonne are the products which Christianity has converted them into arrogant and self-righteous Christian fundamentalists. With these PhDs around, how can they ever win a Nobel Prize?

It is imperative that you will continue to corrupt the PhDs and teach them how to be intolerant and move towards extremes such that it serves our Dark Lord's interests.

Perhaps that you should spend some time to work on the gays and lesbians and turn them into the militants against the Christian right, for we have planted them in the parliament for a long time. The thumping in the parliament just goes to show how well we have covered our tracks to place the bigots there.

I can see more darkness rising in Singapore. Keep up the good work and remember Darkness will prevail.

In Eternal Hate,
Uncle Screwtape
