As for God not exactly existing, I am not exactly into thinking God is real, if he were, then all these horrible tragedies wouldn't have happened, because if he wanted us dead, he'd already have done it, and if he doesn't want humanity destroyed he's doing a shitty job as far as I see it.
Now could Time and Space make the universe? if so then to me theres your awnser to the question.

I think we've reached a fair conclusion here: if God exists, he's a bastard.

A-men to that.some nice quotes from the Dune universe about religion:
"Religion is the emulation of the adult by the child. Religion is the encystment of past beliefs: mythology, which is guesswork, the assumptions of trust in the universe, those pronouncements which men have made in search of personal power, all of it mingled with shreds of enlightenment. And always the ultimate unspoken commandment is "Thou shalt not question!" But we question. We break that commandment as a matter of course. The work to which we have set ourselves is the liberating of the imagination, the harnessing of imagination to humankind's deepest sense of creativity."
"When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual."
"Is your religion real when it costs you nothing and carries no risk? Is your religion real when you fatten upon it? Is your religion real when you commit atrocities in its name? Whence comes your downward degeneration from the original revelation?"
i think those are very nice ways of putting it. i have to get my hands on every dune book now...

according to our determinedly dopey Prime Minister Mr Brown, Obama also has a beach in Normandy named after him. If that can't win you an election, what can?
