... the Jeebers has all the answers ones being run at the moment.
I turned to Mr Brown, "You know, if I actually believed Jeebers had all the answers, I may consider becoming a believer, if there was a guarantee I'd be given the bloody answers".
"What do you want the answers to?"
"O, you know, life, the Universe, everything really. I want to know everything."
"Narrow it down for me."
"Ok, why, if there is supposed to be an all powerful god, are little kiddies allowed to die of disease and hunger? Why are there people who are cruel to animals? Why are there mosquitoes?"
"That's because this particular god, the one in the ads, is not an interventionist god." *
And all together now "THEN WHY DO PEOPLE BOTHER PRAYING????"
* this I know, I was setting up the punch line for Mr Brown - whom I know soooo well.

When I was growing up incarcerated in Catholic schools, the nuns told me that when I got to heaven I would know the answers to everything. That promise kept me good for a long, long while.
Zoomie, I always wanted to know NOW! So that didn't satisfy me in the least I'm afraid.
You youngsters are so impatient!
