Dear God,

I recently found out about Second Life, an online virtual world where hundreds of thousands of people live in an alternative reality. You are credited with the original creation of life on Earth. Did you create Second Life as well? If so, was that on the eighth day, or what?

Ned,

I did not create Second Life. As I understand it, some programmer named Norm, or something like that, I can never remember his name, did the initial creation of this alternative world. The creation is ongoing, however, and apparently users are able to create their own islands and objects just like that - albeit with the application of a little bit of ingenuity or real world money.

It’s a bit blasphemous, don’t you think?

- God
