Mistry, Heller and God

"What a colossal, immortal blunderer! When you consider the opportunity and power he had to really do a job, and then look at the stupid ugly little mess He made of it instead, His sheer incompetence is almost staggering. It's obvious. He never met a payroll. Why, no self-respecting businessman would hire a bungler like Him as even a shipping clerk!"
- Catch-22, Joseph Heller about God.

"What sense did the world make? Where was God, the bloody fool? Did He have no notion of fair and unfair? Couldn't He read a simple balance sheet. He would have been sacked long ago if He was managing a corporation? The things He allowed to happened to the maidservant, the thousand of sikhs.........."
- A Fine Balance, Rohinton Mistry.

Two people who share my views on God.
Free advice from the Tinker: Read A Fine Balance only if you intend to spiral into depression with a capital D. Its worth reading this masterpiece.
