"God" in this case meaning, "a pathetic and sad yet social pseudo-identity" or "an artificial sense of belonging to a group or club."
In which case, I found "God" by dutifully replicating the prior actions of others, thereby showing my ability and intention to conform to the group norm while simultaneously striking a posture intended to convey a disregard of and for the group norm.
The conveyance of this delicate balance of contempt and longing is accomplished by including minor aesthetic changes to my replication of the prior actions of others. These minor changes create the illusion of "individuality" but are functionally insignificant in terms of actual creativity as the strictures of the group norm are still religiously obeyed.
LOL!

I just realized I screwed up the Breakfast Club line.
That should read "Demented and sad, yet social" rather than "pathetic and sad."
My bad. =(

Holy Crap. (HAR HAR PUNNY!)
I think ETS and I actually agree on something. Although he (perhaps not surprisingly) took what I entended as a quick jab at bandwagoning a couple levels deeper and in a slightly different direction than where my real (or at least conscious) intention was.
And, as far as our being genetically similar to apes . . . well, we're pretty genetically similar to mongoloids too . . .

jesus christ people.
WE ARE A MINOR GENETIC DIFFERENCE TO APES.
--------------
A butterfly's affect on the weather is 'minor' as well. A .001 degree angle will mean the difference of a million miles if the lines are followed out long enough. This is a truly limited argument, and one that is often most expounded by those desperate to avoid facing the horrible truth that science cannot and will not answer everything, no matter how much "faith" one places in it.
It's true that we are a vain species...the evidence is right there in your statement when you assume there is nothing divine about apes.
But let's not venture down that rabbit hole.

I want to recognize the truth of what you say, and in some sense, I do...but this longing for a sense of identity that is individual and unique from the 'herd' is a false and vain persuit. In the tootsie rool center of wisdom, one finds that while we are all the same and at the same time all unique, it is the voice of our inner soul that should speak the loudest in guiding us to the kind of peace that can only come from having an intimate experience of "God".
These words are a pale shadow, carrying only that meaning which the reader wants or needs to assign them. In truth, no words can express what I'm talking about.

What I hear Cauenfrog saying is that he knows the themes and scores of the major operas and of course can play several of them on a musical instrument of his choice. Of course he can also calculate every statistical equation and explain each one's proper use. Naturally we can assume that he knows everything there is to know about accounting for shared service allocations, pension accounting, and captive insurance. Perhaps he can also list in latin the names and explain the key fallacies of logical debate. etc etc etc
no?
then piss off

Disclaimer: The preceding comment cannot in any way be construed to imply that I, the party of the first part, consider Teephphaph aka itchy aka the party of the second part to be "cool". The use of the moniker is strictly one of the "you understood" variety to refer to coolness in a general and not a specific way.
Carry on.

Snowflakes would be cool if they had sharp cutting edges and grew to about the size and density of a silver dollar. Basically, blizzards of little ninja throwing stars is what I have in mind.
Just one of the many little improvements that I'm going to introduce when I win the next election for God.

Your post has a lot of big words in it. As a fellow drunk I will just award the +2 and move along. I reserve the right to change my rating at a later date.
