What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that
you would have to believe
in things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
and all the prophets
A rationalist's spirited preoccupation with faith -- using a microscope, a telescope and a 10-foot pole -- watching the self-immolation of humankind with a bucket of water in one hand and can of gasoline in the other. This is written in mind of the audience who will be picking through those ashes.
"Of all the questions you might want to ask / about angels, the only one you ever hear / is how many can dance on the head of a pin." -- Billy Collins, bio {Others' quotes}

This song, pondering a God with all the troubles of his creations, is kind of a throw-back to the Greeks' view of their Gods and their human foibles. Opinions vary if it was elevatory, celebratory or derogatory.

This is really something to think about. But the way how we treat each other is actually a reflection of our relationship with God. Whatsoever we would have done to the least among us we would have done it unto Him.
