    You don't complain when Africans dress in black cloths for funerals, but you can complain about the Vatican using black smoke to signify that a Pope has not yet been selected.

  • Shefo 10 months ago

    Can you blame God for creating "day and night"?
    There's a reason why God created darkness before day.
