The Flat Earth Society must be notified.
This is a really good point. Huh, gotta love when extending the metaphor still makes sense. (also, I guess we could also be on the inside of the sphere)

@1. Ha. I know the feeling and yet, seeing as for the past 3 summers I've pretty much had plans laid out before exams ended, I miss that feeling of a huge chunk of time ahead of you with basically 0 responsibilities.
@2 Forget about truth, talk about probabilities instead. Problem solved(-ish).
@3. If he were all loving, all knowing and all powerful presumably we would be living in a world where no one ever felt the need to pray (except perhaps to thank him for the bacon trees and such)
