I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He's not the Creator, he's one heck of an opportunist, showing up in a running system and saying "Right ho, I'll take over now."

You're being Judeo Christian. I'm not. I don't think Brenda is either.

Also, didn't you think the Ori were okay doing just that?

If I only had a brain...

I'm pretty sure Brenda isn't.

So does your hypothetical Creator show up as a part of the universe, neither creating nor created? (Note that I think Cronus, for instance, is a creator.)

God could be a part of the Universe instead of the creator of the Universe. This would get around some problems with general relativity and stuff.

Huh? Did you mean to type God for Creator? Sure, he could. Or he could have been the Creator's distant cousin, or created just like me. Except with higher quality parts.

Oh, gotcha. God's a side effect: you got your planets, your interstellar rubbish, and one or more Gods. That works.

Yup. I got no brains today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Teppy, I think you'd like Justine better now. It's all sex and mysteries and cabals and such.

I can certainly imagine proving that God exists and is a right bastard

That's Norman Mailer's famous quote in The Naked and the Dead. "If there is a God, he's a son of a bitch."

Well, I think so, but I think Durrell is pretty readable. I love stuff set in Colonial Northern Africa.

Of course, Durrell turned out to be supremely fucked up (in the Anne Sexton manner) but I don't hold that against his fiction.
