Imagine being tortured by someone who keeps laughing and making silly rhymes about said torture.

Surprisingly enough, I hadn't yet got as far as imagining that. And yes, it is rather horrifying in a funny way!

God as a merciless, terrifyingly cheerful quiet observer of everything going on around him is quite dark, actually. I mean, that makes his eternal good cheer and laughter rather obscene.

OMG that's true, it would actually be pretty messed up, wouldn't it? Love the quote.
