Meeting god

A quote from the last chapter of Fight Club (the novel):

I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?"

"Why?"

I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong.
We are not special.
We are not crap or trash, either.
We just are.
We just are, and what happens just happens.

And God says, "No, that's not right."

Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.
