The Prime Minister is to play a part in a stage production of Bad Jelly the Witch. She is playing the voice of God.

I supposed she wanted the God role assuming it as some sort of type casting. But God supposedly has supreme power and Acton warned us that power corrupts. (Another reason to be an atheist.) But I would have thoght she was more appropriate for the witch role -- think how much they'd save on make up.; 10:18 AM

Sure power corrupts, (whether it can corrupt an always existing God is another matter) but if you take power away from God it does not just disappear. You get it.; 7:33 AM
