god has pinchers?

{{{{Lets talk about:
The movement and flow of the geology of morals or Deleuze and Guattari’s guide to navigating deterritorialization. The lines of flight that they move in are really intriguing and create shuffle the reader through different intensities and orientations. We first get this focused but cosmic view. That being that the Earth is deterritorialized. Lovely giant Molecule that we experience as the ‘Earth’. Then they open the discussion to the flow of this body with out organs as having this phenomenon of Layers and belts. Then they dive into the deep end and use the Metaphor of the “black holes”. Before swimming further out into the deep area or maybe they are drifting out to periphery, they pop up and poke us with “the strata are judgments of God”(p40). After stating that the “stratification in general is the entire system is the entire system of the judgment of God.”
Form this point forward they let “God” drop away and move to unfold. The layers and the assemblage of the interstratum and the “plane of consistency” OR metastratum OR as we know it the body without organs. Just as I forgot about God it pops up again, “God is a Lobster!” or as we might think of it as double articulation. What interest me is that it is an articulation of two types of movements one of “folding” and the “sedimentation”. At this point the distinction is about the action of choice and the other of process which leads to form. The action of “folding” is a continuation of the thought of things “falling back” on. The organism in question must be viewed in light of the double articulation. Kind of like putting on two different lens one eye sees the folding and the other see the cyclical process. In the end, the brain sees both in a way that is under the influence of the biunivocal relationships that Deleuze and Guattari swim in. From this state they move to the notion of the Rhizomatics that the Professor Challenger sets forth. The movement of this professor is one line of flight that also acts as an agent that gives Deleuze and Guattari that movement in the text of “falling back on to itself”. In these strata that Deleuze and Guattari they cast out a “net” and the catch that they pull up with this net is issues of matter, content and expression, form and substance. Matter-→ a body without organs. OK. Check! Take a step back and we see content now made up of matter. Ok. Content, Check! Now on to the fun part expression, form, and substance. Here they begin to operate on another level of points of actions like: choice and order. Then what do you know god pops up again, “to express is always to sing the glory of God.” We could think of this statement in a boring literal way that would do Deleuze and Guattari an injustice but given their “movements” what other interpretations or should I say articulations could we understand from God and his pinchers?
