How cool. It sounds like a great play. I guess I can imagine omnipotence getting rather boring, yeah. And I can definitely see him giving up on us all. We are a pretty hopeless lot.

Oxy...are you a Borges fan????

My first ever short story in college was written by him. I think the title was something similar to "I Once Met an Angel". It's a narrative about the writer's childhood in a small South American village where there lived an angel. Turns out the angel was a hobo with wings that lived in the back alleys and dumps.What intrigued my was the way in which the villagers treated the angel hobo.

If you know the title of the story please pass it on!

The best part is when they beg to differ, I ask...How could it be otherwise?

Musings about God ... About 30 years ago, when I was a struggling actor, I used to know a playwright named E. Katherine Kerr. I remember doing a reading of one of her plays, titled, The God Play. In it, God was depressed because he didn't have anything to do. The thing He's best at it, creation, was done a long time ago, and everything now was in maintainance mode. Mankind didn't seem to need Him other than as someone to complain to or ask favors of. I seem to recall there was also a running gag about Christ continually trying (and failing) to commit suicide. Oh, and God finally admitted the dinosaurs were a mistake; that they were too big and totally out of proportion. It was a funny, irreverent piece of writing, but I don't know that it ever got produced.

Personally, I always wondered if God got tired of the same old human foibles. I mean, let's face it, mankind's learning curve has been pretty dismal.

Lis, I think we know, this is the version of Joan Osburns song God Loves Most and is on his IPod. Yep.

Lisa, I agree with Jorge Luis Borges that Heaven is a kind of library; I intend to take as many books with me as I can carry.

As for God, I once heard Tillich speak, and then pray to "God above God"--now, that is a mind twister. As for myself I have frequently mistaken love of the feminine for love of the devine, a habit which has resulted in a serial decline of my earthly assets.

I like that one a lot. I always tell the door-knockers that the bible is a history of war and that I am a pacifist--not as good as yours.
