Dear God,

Something I’ve never understood is how the same people who say that the Bible ought to be literally interpreted as the word of God can then turn around and say, when their religious claims don’t seem to make sense, that God works in mysterious ways. If you are truly mysterious in the way that you work, God, then why would you go around writing books that state literally and directly what your agenda is and what you want other people to do about it? That’s not very mysterious, is it?

So, which is it, God? Do you work in mysterious ways or literal ways?

Dorian,

The only honest response I can give you is this: Blueberry muffin.

I say that with the utmost sincerity.

- God
