Quote:Seems to me most of you couldn't careless about the great gift of life you've been given.

Talk to the Syrian refugees about 'the great gift of life'. Sit down for a chat with a Sudanese child who hasn't eaten in four days, extolling what a great gift she's been given. Wax rhapsodic to the mother whose infant died 30 minutes after being born about that 'great' half hour gift.

All the evidence points to life being anything but a 'gift'. A gift implies a giver, and all the signs tell us that the universe is a pitilessly indifferent place.
