What is God’s Daemon?

Dear God,

I just can’t wait for the movie The Golden Compass to come out next week. I’ve already read the book five times this year, I’m getting so excited.

When I visited the Golden Compass movie web site, I found out that my daemon is a mouse. That got me wondering - what’s your daemon, God?

- Luther

Luther,

I am like a child in that I can have a daemon of any form that I want. Sometimes it’s a human being, like Krishna or Jesus. Sometimes it’s a monkey, like Hanuman. Once, it was a winged serpent, in Central America. In the Pacific islands, my daemon has sometimes been a giant eel, or a big coconut. On the Great Plains of North America, my daemon was a buffalo for a while, though further north it was a raven, and in some of the rivers of the West, it was a salmon. In Africa, my daemon has been a spider, a monkey, a jackal, and all sorts of other things.

You think about it, and my daemon can be that shape… or, it can have no shape at all.

    Lutheus, Lutheus, my name is Lutheus, not Luther. You’re as bad as those mortals over at the Golden Compass website. Do you know they actually claim we daemons don’t have our own souls. That’s right. They say we just carry their souls. What arrogance.

    And I do NOT have a mouse for a daemon. You’re making fun of me, I can tell.

    Who do you think you are.
