Heidi on Intelligent Design:

[flamingsword]

It occurrs to me that the people who say they believe in intelligent design don't actually kow what they're saying: i.e. they think the world was created this way on purpose, but that there are still developmental flaws like homosexuality and the resource competition that neccessitates things like war and abortion.

So they believe that god made the world, but that he did a bad job of it? I guess I can kind of see that. I think god will one day be called to account on this and she'll just give you that manic grin of hers and say, "I was just fucking with you! I'm God: I can do that." Such a bitch! :D

Now the Demiurge would definitely "intelligently design" a universe or planet, but it would inherently be flawed. Makes perfect sense that the OT Deity wouldn't make everything perfectly.

And this is why people should read Voltaire's Candide

But to be fair it totally works for Calvinists & the like, who actively believe in an evil & abusive god to justify their own cruelty

Dude...

Check out John Varley's Gaiea Trilogy, (Titan, Wizard, and DEmon) as it popped into my head as soon as I read this post. Fun stuff, from the science fiction author who has had the most success in gettin things with trans characters sold

If god fucks with you, does she get pregnant?

No, you give birth to Jesus. Or Hercules. Or your mom does, or something.

You have a good argument....

My personal conjecture is that It throws a monkey wrench into crap sometimes just to see what we'll do. :D Deities get bored too. :P :D
