It isn't what I mean by "God" - it's the generally accepted social construct that provides ethical guidance and meaning to the lives of a wide swath of humanity. Traditionally god (or greater power) has been defined by the wise and learned of culture and is constructed to serve the purpose of popular guidance. Todays constructs seem unsatisfactory to the task - hence Dwayne's chairs and hammers. I have merely been suggesting that a redefinition by the 'wise and learned' (of LBO) might be a pleasant alternative to whacking each other with 'toonces', as well as possibly producing a useful social tool.
