Is God all good?

The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Toronto chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you, and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

Right. Yet it's funny how many Christian households fail under that concept. What's wrong with both the man and wife handling the workload of family? Why must God blame just the man in that respect, why can't both the wife and husband come to task? I mean, really, what's wrong with the man and wife running the family as One? I mean, if you get married as One, wouldn't that mean you run a family in the same respect?

PRAISE THE LORD!!! The husband and wife are one and the household is run as one because they are in agreement of how to run the household. However, there can only be one head. Anything that has two heads is a freak or freaky.

Right. I'll remember to tell that to the Calabar Ground Python. I'm sure it'll be pleased. Remember, we're not talking about a two-headed python (I wish I could get one, they are way cool). We're talking about family and relationships. To say that the husband and wife are One and the household is run under one entity automatically eliminates the need of a head of household. If we make decisions together on how to run it together, why must there be a head?
