zana16Dear God,
So far, the only way you have manifested yourself is by changing my mood icons to kittens. This in and of itself is no great feat. I, too, am capable of changing my mood icons to kittens. Therefore, I have little reason to believe in you.
I mean, besides the fact that you keep writing to me.
Why do I think you are a woman, you ask? This is why. Let us posit that you are allpowerful. Your physical manifestation (Jesus) was 1) male and 2) white because no one would have listened to him otherwise. You, however, claim to have written the Bible. The original pronoun in the scrolls can be translated as "he, she, or it". So, really, you're probably sexless. In which case I don't have any idea why you created gender differences that have brought the human race nothing but grief. So I figure I have the right to imagine you however I want. Which is as a woman. Cause it's that or sexless. If you are male then I will decide that you're just a creation of the paternalist system.
Although I will consider believing if you give me my first-year to snuggle.

Date: 2003-03-18 10:18 am (UTC)Why would you think I'm a Creation of the paternalist system? I frickin' created the paternalist system. Ha ha, just kidding, I let you kids create it. It's fun for me to watch. (I created voyeurism too; fetishes are neat) It's just as sexist to call me female as male, but since my son J.Chri (have to be trendy for the kids these days) was male, that makes more sense than female, dont you agree?
On the other hand, that movie *Dogma* where I was portrayed by the lovely and talented Alanis Morrissette did persuade me that the next time I come to Earth in the form of a human, I will probably choose a hottie like her. Um, I mean, a female human.
A moot point.
I'll see what I can do about your first year.
luv, your lord and savior,
God

Date: 2003-03-19 01:20 am (UTC)I have always suspected that You had a sense of humor, and it's nice to have it confirmed. But I have to say, that whole Tower of Babel thing? Way to fuck things up for the rest of us. Couldn't you have just smote them for their impertinance, instead of creating a zillion different languages? That way I wouldn't be flunking my Sciences Po class....
Come through with the firstyear, and I'll take Leslie up on her offer to go to church some Sunday. Or just smite me for my impertinance; basically, the result will be the same.
Love Dogma; have a copy back at Smith. Come watch with me?
