suppose what Oscar believed in as he died in spite of your protestations suppose it's all true and you walk up to the Pearly Gates and you are confronted by God what will Steven fry say to him her or it I will basically what's known as theodicy I think I I'll say bone cancer and children what's that about how dare you how dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault it's not right it's utterly utterly evil why should I respect a capricious mean-minded stupid God who creates a world which is so full of Injustice and pain that's what I would say and you think you're going to get in on that no but I wouldn't want to I wouldn't want to get in on his terms they're wrong now if I died and it was it was Pluto Hades and if it was the 12 Greek gods then I would have more truck with it because the Greeks were they didn't pretend not to be human in their appetites and in their capriciousness and in their unreasonableness they didn't present themselves as being allseen all wise all kind all beneficent because the God who created this universe if it was created by God is quite clearly a maniac utter Maniac totally selfish totally we have to spend our life on our knees thanking him what kind of God would do that yes the world is very Splendid but it also has in it insects whose whole life cycle is to borrow into the eyes of children and make them blind that eat outwards from the eyes why why did you do that to us you could easily have made a creation in which that didn't exist it is simply not acceptable so you know atheism is not just about not believing there is a is not believing there's a God but on the assumption that there is one what kind of God is he it's perfectly apparent that he is monstrous utterly monstrous and deserves no respect whatsoever the moment you banish him your life becomes simpler purer cleaner more worth living in my opinion that sure is the longest answer to that question that I ever got in this entire series
