I question God all the time. Know what? I don't think that's a bad thing. I'd be more worried if I *didn't* question him.
I think the day we stop asking questions about anything and everything is the day we should all pack up and go home.
But you're right - he's not preaching at me, as you said the other night when I asked for your opinion about the 'preachiness' - because as I said, I honestly didn't get it. I wasn't trying to be obtuse or ask a question I knew the answer to - it was a geniune desire to understand the appellation. And as you said, it's partly crappy research on Sorkin's part, or perhaps even no research. I'm sure a writer as gifted as he is is perfectly capable of crafting better arguments- and maybe he was trying to cram too much in. Perhaps that's partly what I felt when I wondered if he quite knew what he wanted to do with the show. So much to say, he couldn't decide what to say first!
