M&D or It's about Religion

[David Morris]

But Terrance, isn't there a conflict between your "modern" concept of 
ultimate meaninglessness that you see in P's works and the slap-back of 
Karma and Murphy's law also being portrayed?  Doesn't this idea of a law 
superceding some character's self-styled system argue for a meaning above 
somewhere?
