Most people who hear voices get bundled off to a psyciatric hospital. (Woman: It's God! He's telling me... to...) Politicians who talk to fictional beings get a free pass. (Woman: ...run for Congress!) (Man: If she's heaering God voices and she's a politician she's sane!) But what happens when two God-voice-heaering politicians decide that they want the same position? (Woman: God told me he wants me to represent the 4th district.) (Man 2: Me too.) (Man 1: Get ready... for a God-off!) Time to consult an impartial God-hearing lunatic. (Man 1: Are you sure he said the 4th district of this state?) (Woman: "He?") Which entails risk. (Man 3: What's that, God? You want me to represent the 4th district?) Next: Which God wins? (Man 4: My old testament yeahweh will smite your new agey a la carte deity lite!!)
Grainbelt, that reminds me that in England they’re celebrating the 400th birthday of the King James Bible.
“If Elizabethan English is good enough for God, it’s good enough for me!”
(OK, technically that would be Jacobean English, but the language in the KJV was already old-fashioned when the book came out…)
