> Why does god refuse to do this?

> According to Epiconstipatus, who presented the Epiconstipatus  paradox the

> ""Either God wants to abolish shit, and cannot; or he can, but does not want

> it, why is there shit in the world?" — Epiconstipatus

> Now I've just delved superficially into the Problem of Shit and introduced

> In conclusion, I'd just like to say, that the Problem of Shit and the
