I've added

Gojira (1954) and Godzilla: King of Monsters (1956), both in a two-disc set

High Plains Drifter

The Simpsons (Season 5)

and The X-Files (Season 5)

to my collection.

So now, tallying up all the movies -- shorts and alternate cuts included -- and TV shows I have, I own:

83 films and 12 seasons of 4 shows on DVD.

Sadly, I still have about -- oh -- 145 films and 59 seasons of 16 shows (and counting) left to go. =(

It totally sucks that I am living in the last decades of humanity, and that all life on Earth will probably be wiped out.

The largest extinction event in history -- the Permian-Triassic extinction event -- wiped out 96% of all marine species and 70% of all terrestrial vertebra species. Yet look at the Earth now -- chockful of life in all it's various forms.

Somehow, I don't think something as relatively minor as global warming is going to be the straw which breaks the Earth's back.

Why might you prefer an immortal, potentially despotic being to be the driver of the universe as opposed to a multitude of mortal, less self-assured individuals?

The former -- assuming it's omnipotent -- has complete control over the universe and can shape it to its will; It can give anything it creates and controls objective meaning and purpose if it so chooses. We lowly mortals cannot; we are slaves to the laws of the universe and we can never become its masters.

Further, if you were to discover that the being in charge of the universe might be cold and unfeeling, would it still be preferred to no being at all?

I guess this would fall under the "same difference" classification. Any specific reactions would really depend on how cold and unfeeling the deity in question was, whether it actually created the universe or not, and if it did, did it create the universe on purpose or by accident, etc.

To clarify, are you hopeful of a specific type of deity to exist or will any such be acceptable?

I'd basically like an analogue of the loving, forgiving God of the New Testament to exist.

In honour of the almighty Absurd, I have crafted this graven image:

And given unto it the immortal souls of these sacrificial lambs:

As I am the Absurd's high priest, it is within my power to grant unto you the permission to sojourn to and converse within this most holy of temples. First, however, you must visit and pay homage to the idol. If you do not, you must go to Hell -- go directly to Hell. Do not pass Purgatory. Do not collect 200 absolutions.
