[MD] The pinnacle of evolution

[david buchanan]

Marsha commented on our crazy times:
What a hoot. The pinnacle of evolution: diaper wearing astronuts driving 900 
miles to kidnap the rival for their affection, gay meth smoking evangelists 
who have sudden conversions to heterosexuality, and a "Decider" who's out to 
nuke the world.

Yea, you gotta laugh. These are the sorts of things that confirm my little 
hunch. Well, its practically a theory by now. This theory says that God is 
not the creator of the universe, exactly, but he acts as a kind of cosmic 
playwright. Unlike the so-called "intelligent design" theory, my hunch is 
based on the notion that God is not always so good at his job and that once 
in a while we get a glimpse of what a hack she is. I mean, lady astronauts 
in diapers? Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband calls himself a prince and says he's the 
father of the late Anna Nicole's half a billion dollar baby? George Bush is 
commander in chief? This stuff is just too far over the top to be believed. 
All the world is a stage and God is the writer of the drama that unfolds, 
but some scenes show a lack of intelligent design. I know they were written 
because they were so badly written. I think this is what Kierkegaard meant 
when he said he believed in God because it is absurd. I'll admit that the 
sense of humor is admirable and nobody cranks out the epic horrors like God 
can, but I think she's getting way too sloppy lately. Another anti-gay 
preacher living a secret life of gay sex? She's just phoning it in now. 
She's used that same basic scene many times in recent years. Its been done 
to death. We get it, already. Don't ever let your children be alone with a 
Christian. Who doesn't know that by now?

Call me old fashioned, but I'd like to see her return to a more traditonal 
form of story telling. You know, where the bad guys get it "in the end" in 
the temporal sense rather than physiologically.
