	That's actually a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man The Six Million Dollar Man] TV show from back in the 70s, where the lead character, Steve Austin, is an ex-astronaut who was badly injured in a crash landing. Part of the voiceover of the opening credits is the phrase "We can rebuild him - we have the technology." He has several bionic parts which give him super-hero like abilities.

	Dorfl isn't an atheist or an agnostic, really. It's impossible on Discworld with thousands of gods in obvious existence, perhaps throwing lightning bolts at you. No one can deny the existence of gods, and everyone has to choose which, if any, to follow. Rather than disputing the fact of gods he disputes their ''right'' to command or influence him (not the supernatural being but its ''godhood'';) he is eager to to argue with them or their priests. Perhaps we could call him an antitheist (or just really bloody-minded.) Nanny Ogg made a similar point, saying that gods obviously existed; she knew where to find a couple any day of the week, but there was no need to go ''believing'' in them. . --[[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] 17:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)		Dorfl isn't an atheist or an agnostic, really.

"Indeed, A True Atheist Thinks Of The Gods Constantly, Albeit In Terms Of Denial. Therefore, Atheism Is A Form Of Belief. If The Atheist Truly Did Not Believe, He Or She Would Not Bother To Deny." ~Lance Constable Dorfl

Dorfl isn't an atheist or an agnostic, really. It's impossible on Discworld with thousands of gods in obvious existence, perhaps throwing lightning bolts at you. No one can deny the existence of gods, and everyone has to choose which, if any, to follow. Rather than disputing the fact of gods he disputes their ''right'' to command or influence him (not the supernatural being but its ''godhood'';) he is eager to to argue with them or their priests. Perhaps we could call him an antitheist (or just really bloody-minded.)
