Tread lightly on the things of earth

Kynn reminds me of the Onion’s September 26, 2001 issue, quoting from its God still hasn’t changed his mind story [heads up: the Onion is humor/satire, and uses strong language].

“Look, I don’t know, maybe I haven’t made myself completely clear, so for the record, here it is again,” said the Lord … “Somehow, people keep coming up with the idea that I want them to kill their neighbor. Well, I don’t. And to be honest, I’m really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to kill anyone, but I specifically commanded you not to, in really simple terms that anybody ought to be able to understand.”

I am fascinated that even in writing satire, this Onion writer conveys God’s heart better than many religious leaders and most political ones.
