Well, then the LORD surely spends a lot of time making sure casinos
win, that ducks hit airplaines, and that tornadoes touch down in tailer
parks. For we surely live in a world where often the good suffer, and
often the wicked prosper, and one hardly knows which is the more
annoying. (Bertrand Russell)

And why is that? Surely the amount of good and evil in the world is
surely in exactly correct balance for the Greater Good, already?
Prayers or no?

Do we have exactly the right amount of evil in the world BEFORE the
prayers of the righteous influence God, or afterwards?
