Does it bother you that lots of people don't believe in you?

Scribe: God, see_more asks “Does it bother you that lots of people don't believe in you?”

God: OF COURSE NOT.

Scribe: It doesn’t?

God: MANY PEOPLE FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE IN THINGS THEY CAN’T SEE WITH THEIR OWN EYES. OTHER THAN SOME ACTOR PLAYING ME IN THE MOVIES, THEY’VE NEVER SEEN ME.

Scribe: Good point.

God: DO YOU BELIEVE IN REGIS PHILBIN?

Scribe: Huh?

God: ANSWER THE QUESTION.

Scribe: Of course. He and Kelly are on every day.

God: ON TELEVISION?

Scribe: Yes.

God: HAVE YOU EVER MET HIM IN PERSON?

Scribe: No.

God: HOW DO YOU KNOW THE PERSON YOU WATCH ON TV ISN’T JUST SOME ACTOR PLAYING REGIS PHILBIN?

Scribe: Well, um – I guess you have a point.

God: MANY PEOPLE ARE RESERVING JUDGMENT, HOLDING OUT UNTIL THEY WITNESS A MIRACLE.

Scribe: That would make it easier.

God: YOU WANT MIRACLES? WATCH THE SUN RISE OR THE SNOW FALL. LISTEN TO A CHILD LAUGH.

Scribe: Those aren’t really miracles.

God: WHERE DO YOU THINK THEY CAME FROM?

Scribe: Ahh. All roads lead back to you.

God: PRECISELY. BUT MIRACLES AREN’T NECESSARY. JUST THE OPPOSITE. FAITH IS ABOUT BELIEVING IN SOMETHING YOU CAN’T SEE OR PROVE. IT IS ABOUT KNOWING IN YOUR HEART THAT SOMETHING EXISTS DESPITE LACK OF ANY PROOF.

Scribe: Not even a small miracle?

God: SCRIBE!

Scribe: Sorry.
