God and me:

One problem I have with God is the idea that us animals need to eat other animals as a matter of good nutrition.

Every now and then small answers miraculously creep into my brain. This time: Most predators* are marvelously equipped to deliver a quick and relatively painless death, most frequently at a time when the predatee has lived, anyway, beyond his years, or is otherwise in poor condition.

Compare that with what we get on account of health care and our own mercifulness.
