It all started when Neil Walsh wrote "Conversations with God" and, seemingly, cornered the market on...well, conversations with God. I thought about writing a book called "God Had a Coversation With Someone Else, Too," but I didn't have enough dialogue to fill up a book. To be honest, I had no dialogue because I 've never had a personal conversation with God (I didn't know he spoke English so well)...I think I was just jealous of Neil cuz God talked to him and not to me.

For a while I tried to use the word "God" as a catch all word for anything that occurrs that didn't involve my planning, like rain, sales, sinus infections, and the occasional good vibe. But now God is responsible for foreign policy?! God is resonsible for our failure to sign the Kyoto Treaty, start a war in Iraq, and arrest Cat Steven's arrest? God is a Republican?

Someone once told me that if you stop using swear words you can start thinking up other words to describe your emotions...I think I'll apply that to "God."
