And don't tell me God works in mysterious ways, Yossarian continued
There's nothing mysterious about it, He's not working at all. He's
playing. Or else He's forgotten all about us. That's the kind of God you
people talk about, a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless,
conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much reverence can you have for a
Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm
and tooth decay in His divine system of Creation? What in the world was
running through that warped, evil, scatalogical mind of His when He robbed
old people of the power to control their bowel movements? Why in the world
did He ever create pain?
-- Joseph Heller, Catch22
