So sad. R.I.P. Rebecca. So this is why Rio has been keeping a low profile of late. Rio now has a proper focus after he retires this month. Football matters little after this.
Anyone read this about Stephen Fry? What would Stephen Fry say if he came face-to-face with God? That was the question posed to the famed atheist on RTE’s 'The Meaning Of Life' on Thursday. Fry's response was as forceful as it was clear. “How dare you?” he said to a stunned Gay Byrne. The recently married actor, 57, than launched into a stunning oratory about how if there were a God he would be the “utterly, utterly evil". "I’ll say: bone cancer in children, what’s that about? How dare you how dare you create a world where there is such misery that’s not our fault? It’s utterly, utterly evil. “Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain? “The god who created this universe, if he created this universe, is quite clearly a maniac, an utter maniac, totally selfish. We have to spend our lives on our knees thanking him. What kind of god would do that? “Yes the world is very splendid, but it also has in it insects whose whole life cycle is to burrow into the eyes of children and make them blind.” He could have added, 'and breast cancer, taking mothers away from their children etc, etc' RIP Rebecca.
Rio will probably be surrounded by people wanting to help him and to reassure him but I hope they realiase that when such things happen there are times when you just need some private space. RIP Rebecca.
