That's why fascism isn't a bad idea. It gets done.

Well, except for that whole all-powerful government thing...

Yeah. Never trust anyone who's all-powerful.

You don't seem to make a distinction between human tendancies and God's tendancies. Good line, nonetheless.

That's because there isn't any. God, by His own admission in the Bible, is by turns jealous, wrathful, loving, regretful, and vexed. Just like me.

But anyway, I meant Q or Trelane. Yeah, that's it.

Totalitarianism is a very broad term. Anything in which the government is all powerful is totalitarian. The only definition of facism I've ever encountered (and I had to search to find it) was a system in which the government had the power to do whatever was nesecary. Deemed nesecary by whom, you ask? Well, by the government, of course. So basically, the government can do whatever it wants. Thus totalitarianism.

"That's because there isn't any [distinction between human tendancies and God's tendancies]."

Well, there is the fact that God always keeps his word...

Well, of course he would. Who would create stories wherein their sole god is a lying bastard?

Omega: So he always keeps his word... so does DC Comic's Lobo.

Not a comparison I'd invite.

As a matter of thought, I can't remember the last time I didn't keep my word.

Hmm...

First for Deity!
