So God told me that he doesn’t go to church services much and I asked him if there was anything about it that he missed. He said he’d always had a fondness for church music but that he didn’t miss it that much because there was plenty of good music outside of churches too.
He […]
Priests are always telling us that churches are God’s house. I thought I’d like to know what God himself felt about that, so I asked. He told me that he didn’t care to hang out in churches much when services were taking place. The thing about mass and other services is that […]
I asked God if she had any favorite foods. She told me that she eats but only when she’s with someone who is eating, that she doesn’t do it alone. Given that, her favorite food is whatever the favorite food is of whomever she’s dining with. She doesn’t so much enjoy the […]
One idea that physicists have debated is the “many worlds” or “parallel universes” concept. The idea is that the universe is constantly dividing into an infinite number of different universes, where each is created by the possible choices that could come to pass, so that for each possibility there is a universe where that […]
The day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday. The start of the Christmas shopping season. It’s a day that in America is even more an orgy of excess than the Thanksgiving meal itself.
What does God think about shoppers fighting over bargains and stores so desperate for their piece of the pie that they design […]
Well, it’s Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S. It’s our annual celebration of gluttony and one of the few holidays that still revolves almost entirely around family. Somewhere between noon and six today, millions upon millions of people will sit down together, say grace and then dig in.
I asked God how she feels […]
I asked God if he ever enjoyed listening to people’s prayers.
He said that was like asking a drowning man if he ever enjoys a drink of water.
I asked God how she feels about sermonizing. She said there are numerous kinds of sermons and myriad reasons for giving them. Some of them are useful, some of them are dangerous, and most of them are just a waste of time. She likes the ones that teach people how to figure […]
I was at a party and overheard some people talking. They were complaining about ugly people marrying other ugly people and having kids. In so many words they said that ugly people should not be allowed to breed, that they should voluntarily take themselves out of the gene pool.
So I asked God how […]
What about cloning?
God’s answer was pretty simple. Since she made us in an image of her, it’s always been pretty much inevitable that we would try to make people in ours.
It’s recursion, all the way down.
I’ve done some experiments, in my conversations with God, to try and figure out if he listens to my thoughts while we talk. I sort of figured that there was no real reason for me to speak out loud, but that maybe God made me do it so I’d feel more comfortable.
I’ve tried various […]
As usual, God and I were talking about everything and nothing today, then somehow we got onto the subject of mind altering substances. I asked God what was her position on recreational drug use. She said that if she were really against it, she wouldn’t have made so many choices so readily available. […]
I don’t pretend to really know a lot about different religions. I’ve got a modicum of knowledge that I’ve absorbed through the years but it’s all pretty sparse and anecdotal. I was raised Catholic, but even on Catholicism, my knowledge is pretty spotty.
But even given all of that, I was curious that God […]
Some people say the U.S. went to war with Iraq because the neo-conservatives thought it would help usher in the Second Coming of Christ. This is related to a whole lot of Christians whose political beliefs I just can’t reconcile. They seem to live lives completely defined by death. They worship in […]
Sometimes, when God stops by, we don’t talk about anything significant. Sometimes it’s just “how are things going?” and “aren’t the clouds pretty today?” I try to limit myself to one question of import per day, both to avoid straining the relationship and because I don’t want to forget the answer or get […]
I asked God if he likes to go to parties. It turns out that God is rather shy. He likes talking to people one on one best of all, which it turns out is good for me. He likes to go to concerts sometimes but tends to hang out in the catwalks. […]
Today I asked God how he feels about people wishing on stars. He told me that he kind of likes it. He says it’s really just another form of prayer, and has the advantage of not just being rote repetition of something someone wrote a few centuries ago. It’s a way of […]
I was getting behind on sleep, so I took a long nap. I woke up refreshed and ready to tackle some weeds that had gotten out of control in my yard. I was out back yanking the little things out of the ground, putting a premature end to their short lives, when God […]
Just in case any of you want to display a little unscriptured humor across your chest, we’ve added some new shirt designs to our gallery at zazzle.com. There’s even a polo shirt. Be the first in your neighborhood!
I’ve been wanting to talk to God about sex, but I’ve been afraid to get in too deep all at once. So to break the ice, I just asked what was up with the missionary position. God told me it was one of the many things that got messed up in the translation.
See, […]
I was feeling a bit bold today so I brought up the subject of embryonic stem cell research. I thought that maybe before Tuesday’s election I could get a definitive answer of some kind that might help me vote.
It turns out that the start of life isn’t the start of being human. God […]
As explained yesterday, November second is All Soul’s Day. On Halloween we examine our mortality and the role that evil may play both in our lives and our afterlife. On All Saint’s Day we pray for the soul’s of the departed that have been recognized to be saints. And on All Soul’s […]
Following Halloween is All Saints Day, or The Feast of All Saints. More properly, Halloween precedes All Saints Day, because “Halloween” is a contraction of “All Hallow’s Eve” and “All Hallow’s Eve” means the night before All Hallow’s Day which is yet another name for The Feast of All Saints. All Saint’s Day, […]
