But I appreciate your sense of humour. It's not entirely clear, however, which of the books mentioned above has God's imprimatur. I would suggest that we shouldn't be misled by some orthodox tradition of a complete canon. Don't get me wrong, however. I'd be quite happy with God making the odd blog entry. Turning your comment around, how much longer can we cope with God's absence from these comment threads? Ha, ha. But I appreciate your sense of humour.

Seems only a year ago that DonaldDuck and other completely unrelated third parties commented along similar lines in our Mark for Lent posts. If you are "tired of trying to understand a collection of books that gets more obscure with each passing generation", then I am sure that we will cope with your absence from these comment threads.

In spite of archeological discoveries, the Bible seems to be the cause of more non-productive argument than agreement. If God was kind enough to write books relevant to particular times and cultures, how about we petition Him to give us a modern text. So, please pray along with me: "Dear God, we're fed up grappling with the Bible. Please give us a text we can all understand clearly. And while you're at it, make it clear this time whether you accept or disagree with homosexuality, tithing and speaking in tongues. Amen."
