Welcoming God’s Blog to The God Blog

Photo
Tuesday marked the arrival of the new blogger at The God Blog. He can be seen in the cartoon to the right, which I cropped from here, and He’s kind of a big deal, so I’ve given Him His own category.

It’s called God’s Blog, and, as The Creator wrote, “Here, and also here, you’ll discover Jehovah’s thoughts on a host of topics, from sports and science to politics and pain, from false religions to religious intolerance.”

I will be the author of this blog, though the goal is to channel God’s perspective, not mine. (I say “goal,” because He is infallible; I am not.) This project will be a work in progress, but it’s one I think you will enjoy. I’ve already got a number of topics I plan to write about, some timely, others, like God, totally timeless. They will be light and fun (God’s favorite sports team) and deep and probing (why natural disasters indiscriminately steal lives.) I’d also like to hear from readers about issues they want discussed; seriously, though, don’t ask about homosexuality.

Why not ask about homosexuality? It’s very relevant and topical.
