"Couldn't You come calling in the day time?"
"I could, but then I'd be interrupting your prayers, your writing and your painting, and, worst of all, your thinking, and some other stuff I want you to be doing. Also, there are reasons why I gave you Earth life again, there's stuff I need you to do when you are awake. And in this way you get to be awake for a longer period of time than your contemporaries and to enjoy more of life than others and more of the things I gave you to amuse yourself, and me. If you die at age 90, you will have enjoyed the wakefulness of the average man of age 135."
"The average man of 135 years of age? I didn't know there were enough of them to have calculated an average."
"You won't need the few minutes sleep you miss by my visits, trust me on that. Now, may we talk?"
"Uhh, sure. Fire away, Sir."
"I have been reading your blogstuff."
"Yes, do you approve?"
"Oh, most assuredly, I do, however, I have some new stuff for you to consider."
"Okay, yes, Sir!"
"You recall my Commandment, 'I SHALL NOT SUFFER FALSE GODS BEFORE ME!"
"Yes, Sir?"
"I need to clarify that. I kind of like competition, there is so little in my realm, so I allow all sorts of gods, but I do not really want to countenance false religions among men. Therefore I want to make that known everywhere."
"Yes, Sir, which ones are false?"
"Umm, err, well, actually, all of them are false. I live in the hearts of a very few-the warm-hearted enlightened ones. I not concerned much over the sins of honest sinners, I applaud their imperfection, it gives me something with which to work-a challenge. There is a vast difference between sin and evil. Jesus said that fornicators, common thieves and whores would enter my kingdom before hypocrites, and he was close to right.
"I do not care very much who is diddling whom, because those sins are easy to wash away, as are most sins of the flesh, and often they are not even sins, if mitigated. (See John 4:4-42) Therefore, I can mitigate 99% of sins quickly, but what are not easily mitigated are evils, like torture, violent abuses of power, eradication of freedoms, the practice of avarice-greed, especially by the already rich, nor can I tolerate sadism, and some other truly evil things. There is no excuse for them. I gave men free will, which is the least the government can allow them. Avarice, acted upon by the rich, is far more than a sin it is the one evil, that is unforgivable-the rich who are avaristic go straight to Hell, with no mercy attending them.
"There are 36 prophets given men each generation, 35 of them and a good many more enlightened ones are your allies, Peter. Recall that I told the Prophet Samuel when I selected David, 'that I choose differently than do men?"
