Nephew

God

In today’s Times: “An atheist blogger whose postings satirizing the Koran set off an uproar in the Arab world has been arrested by the Palestinian authorities and faces a possible life sentence if convicted of heresy, officials said. The blogger, Walid Husayin, 26, a barber from Qalqilya, is suspected of posting atheistic rants on English and Arabic blogs and creating three Facebook groups where he spoofed the Koran, including by declaring himself God and ordering his followers to smoke marijuana. Mr. Husayin has been detained but not charged, a Palestinian security spokesman said.”

I’m all in favor of a Palestinian state, but I hope that the state will allow its citizens to declare themselves God and to order their followers to smoke marijuana.

Unfortunately I’m not God myself, but I’m his favorite nephew.

I get it. You will draw the outline of the new moral with your fiction.
I will eat your books.
A palestinian state based upon the Dutch constitution would get close.

I just find out that God lies. He told me years ago that I was his favourite nephew.
@Tom
If your core business is fiction , then you must be his nephew.

@ Arnon
Whatever happened to the great Redeemer ?

They fired me. I was too much of a renegade.

God did not lie. He speaks those nice words to everybody, like every good father and good mother should do.
(Of course one should not take it too seriously – that is sometimes the problem)
Hail Tom ! Hail Arnon ! Hail myself!
And Hail Walid !
