I think some Woody Allan would be apropos:
How can I beleve in God when just last week I got my tounge caught in the roller
of an electric typewriter? I'm plaged by doubts. What if everything is an illusion and
nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet. If only God would
give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
