Today I was reading The Sun magazine, my last one from my subscription. I came upon a real interesting article by Sparrow called "My God Journal." I'd like to share the final entry because it made me smile:
"Today, after numerous requests and negotiations with God's publicist, God agreed to speak with me, briefly:
Sparrow: Why is there evil?
God: Evil emerges from the imaginations of men -- and I use the word men advisedly. Only about one in eight hundred thousand women in evil.
Sparrow: How can a person become closer to you?
God: The possibilities are endless, but I recommend singing. After all, I invented song. If you go to the jungles of Peru, do you see churches? No. But you do hear joyous singing.
Sparrow: You mean the birds?
God: Yes, birds are my greatest achievement. They fly and sing.
Sparrow: What about humans?
God: A bit disappointing. I had no idea you would invest television. But I do approve of electric lights.
Sparrow: Why?
God: They are gorgerous at night when seen from the sky.
Sparrow: Do you really live above the clouds?
God: Of course not.
Sparrow: Where do you live, then?
God: In the hearts of pious interviewers like yourself! [Laughs.]
[God's publicist indicates that I have time for one last question.]
Sparrow: What is the meaning of life?
God: [Indistinct.]
Sparrow: What did you say?
God: Forget it. You wouldn't understand anyway.
[Here God's publicist signals that the interview is over.]
