“We are compelled by the theory of God's already achieved perfection to make Him a devil as well as a god, because of the existenceof evil. The god of love, if omnipotent and omniscient, must be the god of cancer and epilepsy as well....

"Wealth effects" involve mathematical puzzles that are not nearly so well worked out as physics theories and never can be...
