God and the Fly

I am of the opinion that God does not discriminate. Squash a bug, kill a human, it is all the same. In the eyes of God life is life.

It is man who makes the distinctions and gives certain creatures preeminence and power over others.

Having said that I have to admit that God made a colossal mistake when he came up with the idea of the fly. A fly is the most disgusting creature in his otherwise splendid repertoire. I have no doubt that flies serve some deliberate function, aside from annoying me that is. But you would think that a being who came up with the exquisite contours of the female form could devise a better way to expedite the process of dust unto dust than to cover a recently departed road kill with a seething mass of absolutely vile, pestiferous maggots that will slowly turn into an obnoxious hoard of buzzing, disease ridden vermin.

What the f*** was he thinking?
