Quite a reasonable question, I think.
Look at it like this : you: God, hi. I'd like to tell you about my latest invention - it's a time machine that generates free electricity, is powered entirely by Syrup of Figs and can also translate French into Welsh. Good, eh? God: (YAWN....) BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. you: Erm... well, how about this : my friend has discovered the secret language of snails and is, at this very minute, discussing the theories of Freud and Jung with a collection of garden molluscs! God: OH WHAT'S THE POINT? I INVENTED THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF SNAILS IN THE FIRST PLACE, NOT TO MENTION THE THEORIES OF FREUD AND JUNG. I'M SOOOO BORED.
How can a mere human come up with anything that God would ever be interested in hearing.
Especially as he knows everything anyway, including whatever it is you're about to say to him. No friends, nobody to have a friendly debate with, no creature in the entire universe that has even the tiniest fraction of his intelligence and knowledge. It would be like you trying to have a conversation with some dust on the floor. The only conclusion I can reach is that if a being such as God ever did exist, he must have killed himself a very, very long time ago. © Adrian Barnett 1997 |
