Good God, how much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth-decay in His divine system of creation?

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
A sarcastic complaint about the divine design: how can you truly revere a supreme creator who apparently thought phlegm and rotting teeth belonged in the plan? The humour comes from setting lofty worship against petty bodily annoyances, poking at the idea of perfect creation.
