Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Based Christianity, Islam and Judaism Min parents name children after religious figures, kings and famous people, I doubt that the AEs were any different.
