I've just been watching 'The Simple Life' (I was really bored), and it got me wondering...
Just think about it:
If all that wealth and influence had been given to someone else, they could have used it to do something wonderful. They might have been a brilliant scholar who challenged people's minds and studied obscure and brilliant things. They might have been a campaigner, drawing the world's attention to important international causes. They could even have used their money to help people who were suffering - they wouldn't even have to do it on TV!
But no. It all went to Paris Hilton - the most pointless, vain, self-absorbed idiot on the planet.
I knw that there are a million things that can challenge a belief in a benevolent God, but I have to say, if I were a devout Christian or something, I'd be asking this:
"O Lord, why did you create Paris Hilton, when there is ALREADY so much suffering in the world?"
Your thoughts, please.
