Is there God?

This is stupid...

May I say, I don't even believe in you. Nor does anyone I know. Except my family; who don't count. And Tony... and Lionel... possibly.  In other words, you're fielding a very weak team. I'd say you were the Chicago Bears. Whereas my lot -- the non-believers -- you'd have to say, we're looking pretty sharp.

And we don't do that awful claiming you do. "Well, they're Bear fans really, they just don't go to the games." "Well, there're Chicago Bear fans in their daily lives." Everytime someone does something nice, we don't say, "Ah, there you are, that's the Chicago Bear in him." Or when the sun comes over the mountain, "Oh look, proof that The Bears exist."

There isn't any justice, that's clear. You're not a moral God. Your style is more "What a sweet baby! Wham! Let's give it cancer." Just glimpse happiness, board the wrong airplance, and Pfft! The whole thing's a joke.

If there were justice then I'd believe in you. I like the idea of justice better than God.  Because God is arbitrary... you are arbitrary!!!

And everyone knows that.
