I have a thought about religion. Have you seen those billboards?“We need to talk. God.”
There are a whole bunch of them: "What Part of "Thou Shalt Not…" Didn’t You Understand?" – God “Follow Me”. God.”“Tell the kids I love them. God”"Big Bang Theory, You’ve Got To Be Kidding." – God I don’t know. Maybe it’s a Southern U.S. thing. Anyway, here is my thought: God is the all-knowing, all-powerful being, right? Isn’t it a little presumptuous when we mere mortals choose to speak for this all-knowing all-powerful being (assuming that someone besides God paid for these billboards)? Really, if an all powerful, all-knowing being had something to say, would it only tell a few people and have them make up clever billboards? I’m thinking if it really wanted to be heard, it would take a more direct approach. I don’t know, maybe it would write a book. Something unambiguous perhaps? Knowing our proclivity for screwing things up, it wouldn’t try to communicate with us through riddles, would it?
