What ensues is a debate about the existence of god. Albeit an unconventional one. In our world, nobody escapes the daily torture of pains and disappointments. Even children have to suffer in horrific extremes. Thus, "God," the elder of the two brothers maintains, must be evil to have introduced us to such a world. Any promises of paradise after this life are just taunts. Life, is but a Cruel Angel's Thesis. "It's not that I don't accept god... I just most respectfully return him the ticket."
