- And I take it if God doesn't "care about" something,
- whatever that means, it isn't important. Maybe it
- doesn't even exist, which would seem more likely.
- After all, omnipotence should count for something.
-
- But then there's not much point in thinking about
- things like "politics" or other such phenomena. If you
- want to have something to talk about, you have to stay
- pretty materialistic; otherwise it's all "Om, ah, hum"
- and you're done.

- Since you mentioned an article entitled _Godwrestling_
- I take it you know about the Dukhobors. Would a Dukho-
- bor write in alt.conspiracy or talk.politics.theory?
