Gay Byrne:
... suppose it's all true and you walk up to the pearly gates and you
are confronted by God. What would Stephen Fry say to him, her or it?

Stephen Fry:
I will basically (it's known as theodicy I think) I'll say, "Bone cancer
in children? What's that about? How dare you! How dare you create a
world where there is such misery that is not our fault! It's not right.
It is utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious,
mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world that is so full of injustice
and pain. That's what I'd say.

to be blasphemed, some divine work. Well, I don't accept the premise. --
