The singular lack of doings by God - save in the minds of the deluded - must give all of us cause for concern |
|
Has He had an accident? |
|
What if God is playing Sudoku instead? |
|
Our whiny prayers make poor comparison with a game where each choice is guided by reason, and where each decision is either right or wrong. |
|
How do we reclaim His attention? |
|
Must we do something terrible, something that might elicit His wrath? |
|
If I asked God to save everyone else but me, what would He do? |
|
Might He deem this offer, my willingness to sacrifice myself, as something so worthy of redemption that He chooses me, and tells the rest of you to go fuck yourselves? |
|
With God, it’s always a possibility. |
|
Could my offer condemn everyone else to tortured oblivion? |
|
If this should happen, and you find yourselves burning inadvertently in Hell, know that was the very last thing I intended. And, in advance of your eternal torment, I apologize |
|
So. Back to earth |
|
A number of things concern me about modern life: |
|
What if I have been so bad, so evil, that God is waiting for me to die so that He can add my steaming entrails to a casserole that will be served to those recently elevated to Heaven? And should I see this as a reward or a punishment? |

What if dogs are being ironic when they obey our commands? |
