Any time you want to help out, go ahead... - Lemmy.World

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:

I’d say, bone cancer in children? What’s that about? 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 would say.

I do? He rolls his eyes right in his guest’s face!

Sure, like an old Southern lady proclaiming, “Lordy, I have a case of the vapors!”

He’s just hamming it up for the camera in response to Fry’s (intentionally inflammatory) rhetoric.

That is the most generous reading I’ve ever seen anyone give anything.
