He may be *capable* of all that, but I submit that he has shown a 
degree of restraint in that She does not *act* like that.  Marcus 
Aurelius suggested life was a fair that most attend, with no more 
thought to on whose authority, or for what reason, than the stock 
munching the hay.  And, while he makes it pretty obvious that She 
put up the facility to live life, he hazards no suggestions as to 
*why*.  Although, it is plain to both of us, that to try soul for 
damnation looks pretty childish. 
 
My own view is, that She put up the stage we live on so She could 
watch the show.  So, I try not to be too boring. ;) Nietzsche has 
made this a little easier by showing that what passes for good or 
evil is not all it's cracked up to be, that unintended results of 
any given action abound, and that the Murphy's laws keep things a 
whole lot more interesting. 
 
What is the Christian explanation of Murphy's law?
