I think in metaphors/analogies most of the time, so to me,
   saying Everything is Random and Everything is God are
   equivalent. (ie - an Ineffable God and "It's Random" are both
   personifications of "damned if I know how so let's attribute it
   to this ineffable something/one"   All that being said, the
   whole 6000 year thing, I thought was a ridiculous bit of
   crackpottery from an 18th century dude who thought he'd
   tie-it-all-together but as far as I know, he was a bit of a
   crackpot even THEN and the people who decided, "Gee, this is a
   fine notion" were fellow crackpots.

   Mainstream religions never bothered me. Never had a problem with
   them. But crackpots are annoying, especially when they get
   popular.

   [in the world of Atheism, see: Dawkins for equivalent
   crackpotism. He was great back in the day though. But now...
   eh...
