VIDEO: Stephen Fry Comment on God “Evil, Capricious and Monstrous”

Stephen Fry
If God indeed exist, what will Stephen Fry say to him or it? That was the question asked by “The Meaning of Life” host Gay Byrne to English comedian, actor Stephen Fry on Sunday night.

Fry was quick to answer, saying “How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault? It’s not right.”

“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?”, Fry added.

“Because the God who created this universe, if it was created by God, is quite clearly a maniac, utter maniac. Totally selfish. We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him?! What kind of god would do that?”

Fry further attacked God, saying:

“Yes, the world is very splendid but it also has in it insects whose whole lifecycle is to burrow into the eyes of children and make them blind. They eat outwards from the eyes. Why? Why did you do that to us? You could easily have made a creation in which that didn’t exist. It is simply not acceptable.”

“It’s perfectly apparent that he is monstrous. Utterly monstrous and deserves no respect whatsoever. The moment you banish him, life becomes simpler, purer, cleaner, more worth living in my opinion.”
