When interviewed in 2015 by veteran Irish broadcaster Gay Byrne, Fry was asked what he would say if he came face-to-face with God.
Fry said: "Bone cancer in children, what’s that about? How dare you? How dare you create a world where there is such misery that’s not our fault? It’s utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice and pain?" Within days, the video was viewed over five million times.
Fry later stated he did not refer to any specific religion, and said: "I said quite a few things that were angry at this supposed God. I was merely saying things that Bertrand Russell and many finer heads of the mind have said for many thousands of years, going all the way back to the Greeks." Because the God who created this universe, if it was created by God, is quite clearly a maniac, utter maniac.'
In May 2017 it was announced that Fry, along with broadcaster RTÉ, were under criminal investigation for blasphemy under the 2009 Defamation Act, following a complaint from a member of the public about the broadcast: the case was dropped after the police confirmed that they had not been able to locate a sufficient number of offended people.

An image from a nightmare I had recently. Satan was inside my lap. I think it's a reaction to Dad dying from bone cancer that began in his abdominal region.
Sarcoma is a cancer of the connective tissue and can occur in any location in the body. Since sarcoma is rare cancer, many people are unfamiliar with the disease since they have not been affected personally.

I normally don't get too detailed in my descriptions but in this case I think I need to explain why I have a picture of a hairy armed man and a very well worn Livestrong bracelet. He got this bracelet online just before Lance's second tour in 2000 and at the start of his then 18 year old son’s battle with bone cancer. Back then only the followers of Lance and the tour even had a clue about the bracelets this was long before Nike and their explosive popularity. He gave me my first bracelet in 2001 during Lances second tour and the start of his sons second year of Chemo therapy. While mine has been replaced several times and given away to friends who were or had a loved battling cancer as well as some times that I did not wear one his has only left his wrist for five very bad days over the last eight and a half years.
His son survived the chemo and if you know anything of bone cancer he now had an 80 percent chance of survival. One day 2001 when the cancer battle seemed to be won he took the bracelet off it was only off his wrist for fives days during which time a follow-up visit revealed the cancer had returned. I'll never forget that morning he found out I walked past his office just as he hung up the phone he didn't need to say a word I knew! Almost without thinking and more a sign of support for himself, his family and most importantly his son he put the bracelet back on as the next rounds of chemo began and Lance was starting another tour. Lance of course one and his son appeared to be winning the battle as well and then on 7/1/02 a full year into his sons third year of chemo I received the following e-mail:
“As I look at the list on this e-mail we are an eclectic group of individuals. To me you are a great group you have all shown a concern for my feeling and a concern for my son Nathan’s health. Friday night after a very long and hard week we were told that the cancer that he has fought now for almost three years has returned again. At present we have caught this very early, but in the same breath it has returned in the middle of a very massive and harsh chemo therapy session in which we have thrown every known drug at this to stop it and have not succeeded. I have appreciated your concerns and your prayers on are behalf please keep them up they are the strength that carries us on. Over the coming weeks please bare with me as I may not seem as focused or even as responsive as I might be.”
We as his friends were devastated! Then right around the time Lance was winning his fourth tour and after many prayers and well wishes from all who knew this family the miracle came when the bone scan revealed that the cancer had again disappeared.
That was six years ago Nate is doing wonderful and now considered cancer free and the bracelet has remained on my friend Randy's wrist without fail! It even survived a nurses insistence that it be cut off for some surgery he had a while back. After a lengthy explanation and a doctors intervention he was talked back into the hospital with the assurance it would be there when he woke..
So that is my rather lengthy explanation of why I have a picture of a bracelet on my Flicker page.
