Hey God

I treat you with some scepticism. I actually have quite a bit of a spiritual streak in me, but I have turned away in contempt from all the "organised religions" that have become more of political organisations, interpreting the "bible" in their own way so as to gain more power, wealth and control over people.

So yes, I have great doubts about you, your existance, and frankly, your skill at running this place.

I believe that you have been involved in the creation of all the people in this world, and I do believe that you love them all.
I can tell you, as if you didn't know, that at the moment a great deal of these people are sad for my wife Helen.
It is in your power, with one single act, to make these people a lot happier.
I know I don't need to tell you what I am asking for, and I know that what I am asking for is a really tall order.
But I know that you have it within you.
If you are an omnipotent God, with the power to affect everything, then my oh my how you have chosen to test me over these last couple of years.
I don't know why, it is not as if I am a nasty person or anything, I don't see what I have done to deserve this, and don't give me that nonsense about how incomprehensible your ways are, your management skills are at best questionable, just look at the state of this planet.
Part of me wants to be really angry at you and hurt you, but on the other hand perhaps you just don't have very much power. And you are soon about to meet my beloved Helen, and she is going to give you an earful, you can _believe_ that.

I am not testing you, you do as you please. But you have the power to fix this. Just this one thing.

Too right!
My boy Epicurus said
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?"
