God Hinting At Retirement
« on: July 19, 2010, 07:05:17 am »
The following is from "The Onion" - a purely satirical publication. I found it very humorous and not offensive. Now, I realize that is coming from my viewpoint as an atheist, but I think even those of you who are very strong in your beliefs will find it entertaining. I put it on here for amusement and in NO way as a means to offend or make fun of anyone here. I thought we needed a little light humor.  ;)

THE HEAVENS—At a press conference Tuesday, God Almighty, our Lord and Heavenly Father, gave his strongest indication yet that he might soon step down from his post as the supreme ruler of all things.

Following a routine address during which God confirmed the recent extinction of several thousand species, the Divine Creator fielded questions regarding rumors of his possible retirement.

"I've been at this a long time," said God, ∞, the all-knowing, all-powerful being who has presided over the cosmos since forming it from sheer nothingness nearly 14 billion years ago. "And the truth is, this was never something I planned on doing forever. Lately, in fact, I've begun to wonder if I should move on sooner rather than later."

Over the past few centuries, God has on numerous occasions deflected speculation that his reign might be winding down, but his remarks Tuesday appeared to signal a shift in celestial policy.

Thank God he is not going to retire.

In this economy, no one can afford to retire.
