but to even consider the possibility that it's just a lucky accident that we're here would send them tumbling into an existentialist dilemma on the sheer meaninglessness of life.

"People can say whatever they want about you without knowing the facts.
They can criticize you without even knowing you, and hate you when they
don't even know you. All of a sudden, you're, like, the bin Laden of America.
Osama bin Laden is the only one who knows exactly what I'm going through."

- R. Kelly (Heaven, he needs a hug!)
