God must love stupid people. He made SO many..

"Not even God is higher than justice.”

Well buddy, God has made the world and the "law" himself, so how is he not above it? This is MP must be out of his mind

Did someone call me ? Nah..I don't have an answer for that is a conundrum that mankind has been incessantly engaged in answering ab initio and we'd probably continue with it ab infinitum !
