If Eve had said
no thanks, Serpent,
I’m not hungry…but
you intrigue me…let’s
talk again sometime…
God would have
gone to a neutral corner
and sulked at the thwarting.
If Abraham had said
are you nuts? That
is my flesh and blood
and I’m not even going to
dignify that with a response…
God would have walked off
kicking the Biblical equivalent
of a can.
If Jesus had said
indeed I brought a sword, not a
figurative sword but a literal one,
these Romans
are killing us, let’s go…
what a world we’d have,
what paradigms would be different
if the right folks
had given God the right “no”
at the right time.

I’m loving it!
If you haven’t read LAMB by Christopher Moore, do yourself a big favour and visit your favourite used book store…. If nothing else, you will laugh your ass off!

Y’know, I haven’t read it — but it’s been on my list for years as a “one of these days…”

It will give you a laugh you won’t soon forget!
