Stephen Fry was once asked what he would say if, after death, he found himself trying to justify himself to God in front of the Pearly Gates. His response:
"Bone cancer, in babies? Seriously?"
The full response is worth reading:
This is addressed by Mr Fry’s remarks, which you should watch in full. He either says that god doesn’t exist or he’s a complete maniac. Atheism is actually the generous, optimistic interpretation.
If I would describe a paradise for humans I would set up a system where your suffer is short and smal but just enough to value the things you will be given. Once you reach a point where you don't feel joy anymore because you have everything. Everything is taken from you and can again enjoy building up your achievements
As a parent, I scratch my head at this. We don’t pepper in abuse with parental love so that they’ll appreciate it. You just give and you give and you give. You lose sleep trying to figure out how you’re going to keep them perfectly safe and completely happy. God’s a shite dad.
