I love that I’m Catholic. I can post funny pictures of the pope and write “heh” as the caption. It’s like the N-word for black people, but this is H-word (in the context of a funny picture of the Pope) for Catholics. Or something.
My pope was a Nazi… Heh.
UPDATE: Anybody else feel like this dude and Dilbert are talking about the same thing?

This position seems like the “mechanical universe” positions that came into vogue during the european enlightenment. That is – God created the universe and all the physical laws, set it running like a huge windup toy, and walked away.
Of course this is incompatible with a world view that expects active engagement from a deity. Going from “God is a Fiction” to “God Made Everything and Abandoned It” isn’t much comfort to a person of faith.

Except: if He planned everything in advance, he is timeless and able to intercede today by tweaking the initial conditions in the Big Bang. He anticipated our prayers 14 billion years ago.
