What is the risk you say??

When one creates their own life they play God! This implies one is not at ease with his quality of creation. This mocks God's omniscience. Even the most violent,cantankerous, and uncivil pack of niggers are a part of his creation. It is flawless. If we try to find flaws and "fix them" within his creation, we are flawed.

I fucking swear that if the amount of Americans opposed to the cure for aging because of 'OUR LORD AND OUR SAVIOR PREACHES TO US IN THE GOOD BOOK THAT THIS LIFE IS FINITE AND PRECIOUS' goes into the double digits, I will be completely fine if those afflicted areas are carpet bombed.
