Why Doesn’t God Smite Pete Stark?

Dear God,

Congressman Pete Stark recently revealed himself as the first openly nontheist member of Congress ever in American history. I don’t understand how this is possible.

As Christian leaders Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and James Dobson keep on saying, the United States of America is a Christian nation that depends upon worship of God to remain in existence. Therefore, it should not be possible for a non-Christian to remain as a part of the government of the United States of America.

Why don’t you just smite Pete Stark down, God? What is taking you so long?

Faith,

I tried to smite Congressman Stark down, but I couldn’t do it. You see, as a nontheist, Representative Stark doesn’t believe that I exist.

Wouldn’t you know it? It turns out that Pete Stark is right and I am wrong. I don’t exist. So, you see, I just don’t have the wherewithal to do anything about Mr. Start remaining in Congress.

Don’t worry, though. You can still worship me.

- God
