A Modern Capitalist's (anti-)Pentecost?

Funny. Had there been room, I just might have subtitled it: Prayer of a Well-Meaning but Confused Efficiency Expert. Anyhow, here goes:

"By all means freely consult His blueprints and guidelines - that's what they're THERE for! But please, in the name of everything holy, DO NOT bring God down into the nitty-gritty of this operation - He will only complicate things and multiply difficulties! Remember that God is Love - and love is nothing if not difficult. But if love = difficulty = hardship = complexity, then it's just about the last thing we need to simplify,  streamline and expedite this BIG GLOBE-SPANNING OPERATION. Besides, doesn't He want us to figure things out for ourselves? To stop clinging to His apron-strings and finally STAND ON OUR OWN TWO FEET?"

But who's he praying to, if not God? you ask. Why, who else but Man Almighty?
