					<description><![CDATA[I used to think that it was quite a raw deal to have to leave this world in order to have a chance at having a crack at God&#039;s Kingdom.  

Today I&#039;d leave the world for the promise of nothing.  

Weren&#039;t it for my absolutely lovely wife and my very old parents I&#039;d gladly contemplate suicide rather the alternative of living on this sad and little horrid planet, especially practically all the people inhabiting it who are the species responsible for making it so disgusting in the first place.  

Somebody once was scandalized at the idea that the military were tinkering with developing a bomb that would leave most of the rest of nature untouched yet eliminate all humanity.  

It is eminently high time such a device is used if anybody has it.  

And I truly wonder why the God Lord doesn&#039;t do away with it all once and for all, sooner rather than later.  Creation was great but getting rid of the created would be greater still since the created don&#039;t deserve His gifts.
