Isn't that how it works now? They've got Jesus, god, the Bible and everybody else working for them. Even the devil is useful when they want to do something and not take responsibility for it.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Sounds like an interesting show, though, the way you guys describe it.
The last time I owned a television was 1988 and I had to stick a bent wire hanger in the back of it for an antenna. After a few decades, my family gave up trying to convince me to buy one. Now, my TV comes with a mouse and a back button.

I stand corrected.
