God is a lot like an invisible friend who happens to be a huge asshole.Whenever you need Him to stop the rampages of a Joseph Stalin or an Idi Amin He’s AWOL, but whenever there are several thousand shit-poor Peruvians minding their own business, then you can be damned sure He’s charging up His Level III Earthquake spell, +6 against the hopelessly indigent.
