Doug;

Being a judge must be a difficult task. A judge has the power of a demi god and can make a life and death decision based upon whatever is internal to his/her being. Thank God there are other demi god’s at a higher level who can “overrule” a lessor god. The problem is we soon run out of demi god’s who can evaluate a lessor god’s decisions. Then it is time to pray!
