I like the acknowledgement of an imperfect God. I wanted to tag on something more inflammatory, but decided against it.

Nobody ever thinks of God having imperfections but it makes sense or he’d be able to control us perfectly.

Ah, but PJ, perhaps he does control us perfectly.
That said, I kinda thought the author got in a little over his own head, from a philosophical perspective. I mean, whatever you think of God, narrating His interior thoughts is pretty tricky business, and this comes off as cheap parody, like a South Park gag (Hey, I like South Park.) But this wasn’t very funny either, so it fell kinda flat for me.

I would say the exploration of an imperfect God (or god) pondering the meaning of “Horrible things happening” seems like a good route, but a treacherous one.

Sorry Catherine, I see that you are a woman and I referred to you as ‘he’. I should be more careful to take in the Bio and username first!

DoItForScience and PJ: I think God has to have some imperfections or else half of what goes on in this world wouldn’t happen.

Eagle My Beagle: It’s an honest mistake. No worries, at least you didn’t refer to me as ‘it’ :)
