Is He?

"I'm not too big on the omnipotence thing. I mean, he isn't even trying. I'm thinking, God is more like a badly-run office that keeps losing files and stuff, the secretary retired and no one knows where anything is, and the printer jams every other day, and the roof is leaky, and the coffee is bad, and someone stole the last donut. I'm sorry; did you have a prayer to be answered? We can't find our stamp pad. How about you return next week? The worst part is that like all bad offices, he refuses to admit it and hangs on as a vestigial organ in this vast organic mess called bureaucracy. I mean, God's probably the guy who shows up at those anti-technology rallies with a red banner and hangs around for the cheap moonshine."

"You're saying God is an office clerk?"


"Well, office clerks think they are gods, what's wrong with a bit of balance?"
