Great one, I was just thinking the other day too, Why should god waste time with
disease, Earthquakes etc.. I mean, after all, if god is omnipotent, it could just

better for everyone concerned. In fact - Im going to close my ey7es and BEG for
god to will me into non-existence, if you get this mail, it didnt work.
