God of the gaps... maybe?

Haha Yeah, it wasn't very direct. The god of the gaps is usually the cry when god is plugged into an unknown, as it should be. However; I have a hard time faulting a person who conducts some sort of search to reach a conclusion or inform their beliefs, and upon finding that there is no such answer, they conclude that there might as well be some sort of maker. And I think there is a distinction to made between doing that and being, say, a Christian and automatically attributing every unknown to god. I certainly have more respect for the former. And I have the same respect for that as I do for someone who in the same situation concludes that there definitely is no god; it's the same thing really.

I guess the question is: Thoughts?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
