It's not *just* the "God did it" explanation for several major recurring plot points that disappointed me, its that it was done so poorly.
To be fair I thought *a lot* of this series was poor, like the demands of the remaining humans to have their civil rights restored *while* still having to jump a head of the cylons every 12 minutes (or whatever the time frame was), and the "civil wars starts on the drop of a dime" coup stuff that kept coming around every season or so.
A picture of this series should be in the dictionary next to the definition for "potboiler."
(And as an atheist I do sometimes thing the "God did it thing" is a-ok. Dune Messiah (and the books after that, but before his son started writing them) have wonderful, and *understandable* prophecies, gods, half-human/half-san worm characters. Hell, the Honored Matres could be seen as Cyclons in some sense.
And the robots-are-soon-to-be-skynet-cylons ending felt very,very tacked on.
There's your problem, you identify your self as something that doesn't exists. It's just a an insane/inept/unworkable worldview.
You've got much bigger problems figuring out the world if your "philosophy" is that capitalism is good and the state is bad.
Good luck in life. You'll need it.
