now tell me. 100% of you, when looking at the title, thought of the adeptus machanicus, right?
of course right.

this was websters word of the day, and when looking at it i realize why it was the adeptus' motto, because they dont know why this stuff works, it just does! so its the machine god...of course....
It also means, translated literally, 'God by(or through) Machine'. So that could be it too, although your take is certainly more interesting!
