woodpigeon: Maybe one should choose a different god everyday. Then all bases would be covered and the god could be matched to the plans and/or outfit of the day.

So many gods to choose from! :-D

“Act As If”… I don’t think I’ve ever heard this argument called that before.

Act As If…

I like it. Has a nice ring to it. Calling it that reveals that this particular concept is more about giving lip service to something you don’t actually believe than really believing in it.

Argument: Act As If.
Rebuttal: Act As Is.

Ha! :D
