Oh, I don't know. I, frankly, would not mind having a bug eyed alien to
flip the bird to (and actually see its expression) for the obviously
screwed up job it did in 'directing' our evolution. An unseen God is the
ultimate liberal bureaucrat: He created a universe for his own
convenience and self edification, not that of its occupants, issues
stupid rules from on high, sets loose evil in the world willfully,
blames it all on us, and cannot be called on the carpet and held
personally responsible by his constituents (oh, and suffers from
multiple personality and gender identity disorders and has a martyr
complex).
