Dear God,

In your comments on the relationship between Jesus and Mithras, I couldn’t help notice that you spelled “quesStion” with two s’s. Is this some kind of ancient spelling or are you not as infallible as many people think?

Atheist Jew,

I am as infallible as many people think, and that’s the problem. Many people think many different things about how infallible I am. It was one of my mistakes to allow free will to apply in the determination of such theological matters. That in itself indicates some degree of infallibility on my part, some might say. Others would merely note that I work in mysterious ways.

The truth, or one version of it, is that I meant to type quesstion instead of question. Why? It’s a divine mystery. It may appear, to those who are uninitiated in the complexities of theological discipline, to be an accidental slip of a cosmic keyboard, but, given that I am the divine creator of the entire universe, those in the priestly know understand that the extra S was there for a reason. The religious studies department at Stanford University will be holding a conference on the matter next year.

Besides, your question uses an apostrophe to attempt to indicate a plural, when in fact, such punctuation is meant to refer to a possession. Take the mistaken punctuation out of your own eye before attempting to pluck an apparent typographical error out of the all-seeing eye of the Lord Thy God!
