GAW

g: Lord?
G: ya?
g: why did you make evil?
G: did i?
g: you don't know?
G: you think?
g: you can't not know... you're omniscient right?
G: maybe?
g: what do you mean maybe? you're supposed to be three omnis: omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent!
G: sounds like it?
g: sounds like?? geez... has being God gone to your head?! there's got to be some law against such frivolously imprecise answers!
G: i could say the same for you... but first, let me flick your forehead for using Jesus' name in vain first. [a Godly finger twangs g's forehead with a mighty boom.]
g: OWW! now that's just childish!! when did i even say Jesus!
G: the "geez" which you so imprecisely used as cover-up for some other swear word - that's what a minced oath is - and that's against the second law...
g: rrright... and i was punished for something that merely sounded like Jesus...
G: ...and back to that "sounds like" part. do you have any idea what omnipotence is?
g: well, it's like you could do anything? no restrictions? like a genie?
G: hmm... which is why i only said "sounds like" it.
g: you mean there are restrictions even for you? i mean, i can get it that you're not like a genie...
G: haha... even the word "restrictions", understood here in this context, specifically - precisely - using the human intellect, would not completely capture my situation.
g: ah... the ol' "creatures won't understand me" escape route eh?
G: and to where can i run? every i go, i am there!
g: [pause] that's almost like a joke.
G: except that it's true too. dear, i know how hard it is for you to understand me. i don't wish to impose either, but in order to have any meaningful relationship, there must be something we can hold on common ground.
g: which is why we keep trying to understand you... the nature of God... theology...
G: that's all very heartening! i'm very proud of you for having come this far. but you see, just as you might never ever truly understand your future wife's nature, so could you still focus on what's important.
g: okay, i'm listening...
G: love me.
g: [longer pause] Lord, you know i do...
G: then...
g: feed your sheep...?
G: spot on.
g: i am trying... really hard, dear Lord.
G: and that is why there will always be some evil.
g: huh? you mean i actually got hold of a hint? i mean, i knew you wouldn't forget my initial question... but i didn't expect that... where's the link...
G: doubt.
g: ah... it's Mr. D again.
G: yup. it's the killer of all relationships. you can't truly love if you can't fully trust.
g: so because i'm only "trying real hard" instead of "be it done unto me according to thy will"...
G: yes, my child.
g: then so be it. i am your handmaid. just as Mary wasn't sure when she said 'yes', so will i not dwell on my doubts today.
G: then today, there will be no evil about you.
g: praise be to God!
G: aw, you're too kind.
g: not half as kind as you!
