The book that turned me into a deep fan of pterry, and one I would give out by the truckload if I could afford it. It’s *important*, and humorous, and teaches how to deal with organized religion.
This is my weirdly not-religious-but-I-sure-do-pray-a-lot belief. GOD might exist, but he's probably busy with photon migrations and background radiations. I bet there's a lovely middleman deity that handles this specific issue.
As Carlin put it, "I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the resumé of a supreme being. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude."
I also like the notion of God setting up billiard balls on a perfect table, giving it a whack, and stepping back.
"It is impossible to imagine the universe run by a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a board of gods. If such a board actually exists it operates precisely like the board of a corporation that is losing money." --Mencken
