So is religion, as well as absurd.

I am a devout Christian. My faith is unshakable. And I am a big fan of God Man.

The Bible. Greatest horror novel ever written. Starring the most deranged villain ever conceived.

Hey God Man, wanna help out with climate chan— Too busy helping an old woman find a nickel hidden in the couch cushions. Yeah, ok, fair enough, capitalism sucks.

The MAGA cult takes this one very seriously!

But I thought watching the news was a part of god’s plan, er … I mean God Man’s plan.

Omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent should cover everything. Apparently there’s also a selective element.

I like this – I think.

Reminds me of a Bob & Ray sketch in which Webley Webster, our “man in the street”, is interviewing a cranberry vendor. The conversation is, of course, surreal, but the really surreal touch is that in the background there are shouts and sirens and commotion of various kinds, but Webster continues doggedly probing the ins and outs of cranberry merchandising.

God is in the details. He ignores the news too.

Asking myself every day, what kind of god lets such people [whoever, you-name-’em] become parents ? The question answers itself
