I go to a cafe in Escondido. I see God is there, standing in line.
"Let me buy you a sandwich." says God.
"OK." I reply.
We stand there, and God is humming to himself quietly.
"Can I pick the sandwich? I'd like --"
"No." says God.
He orders me a BLT and I don't want a BLT. We sit down at a booth in the window, it is a lovely morning. I drink a cup of coffee I carried in, and I resent God ordering a BLT for me, even though it looks delicious.
God starts eating.
"So how do you relate to Buddhism?" I ask God.
"Eat your BLT." says God.
I start eating my BLT, and I don't like how the bacon and mayonnaise are getting together with the bread.
"So where are you in the synthesis of Christianity?" I ask God.
"Keep eating." says God.
"But what about free will and human nature?"
"Oh..." says God, seeming to have a thought on his mind.
He pauses. I wait, holding half a BLT. A pretty girl comes into the cafe, and God watches her, smiling. She walks past us and I can't see her. Finally, I turn and look at what he's looking at. I expect to see the pretty girl, but she's vanished!
"Nevermind!" says God.
