I think we forget how lucky we are just to be able to live in the world of the lonely man and the silent god frankly I'd rather fair my chances among men think back to the antedeluvian masses thay never did stand a chance did they, how could one man be all good, how could one family eradicate evil, how could One Omnipotenet all knowing being make a mistake, how could He ever even be heard as saying "I made a mistake" "I have a regret" He can be harsh He can be cruel don't you forget that their are two testaments and He clearly has more than one face

I rarely say this because it's a bum rule, but Show, don't Tell.

How could an omnipotent, omniscient being make a mastake? Two words: Free Willy.

This is a bulging turnip.

"Frankly I'd rather fair my chances among men." What could this mean?

their?

"their are two testaments." Please pick out the egregious crime against language contained this phrase.

clearly "testaments" should be "testicles"
