THEODICY 101: IF GOD IS GOD
Does God get personal?
Do you have a personal God?
Do you see your personal God often, or do you have to make an appointment?
Is there a waiting list to see God?
Do you have a personal relationship with God?
Or is God someone you read about in a book?
Do you consider your relationship with God deep and meaningful, or as a casual, whenever you drop by sort of thing?
How personal?—Live and in person, God Incarnate (in the flesh)?
How long has it been since you took your meds?
Or do you communicate with God by long distance, so to speak—by prayer?
Is that like calling a 1-900 line?
Does God whisper sweet nothings in your ear?
Does God charge by the minute?
Or is praying to God more like visiting a chat room, only more spiritual?
If praying to God is like visiting a chat room, how do you know He’s really God? He could be some sort of God-wanna-be, a rogue demiurge, or a registered soul corrupter…
If you asked God to do you a favor, would He do it?
If God (the really real God) asked you to do Him a favor, would you do it?
Would you do it no matter what it was (rape, murder, whatever)—after all, this is God talking—or would you tell Him I’ll have to get back to you on that?
