So says McSweeney's:Generally, I now think I can do more for the planet as just a guy who used to be God instead of the guy who currently is God, you know what I mean by this? Life is too...

Considering the God-awful mess He has made of the universe perhaps he should have resigned long ago.

The whole universe is a mess? Gee, I only thought it was the parts we've tried to improve.

I just love it when beliefnet advertises John Piper on your GoogleReader RSS. Makes me laugh.

so if we quit we are really winners! i am sure that's what ben roethlisberger said to his guys in the huddle this past february. if god resigned and proved deism to be true, god sure would be more effective at doing god's job. just like sister sarah!

as far as i can see God has and still is doing his job, and all that we considered screwed up in this world is caused by us. so maybe we should step down from trying to be gods and let the one true God do his work.

I agree with belgium- the only things messed up in this world, are where Mankind gets a big head and tries to take control of his own destiny.
