I found the best Bible ever. And by that I mean I found a pretty ridiculous Bible.
While hanging out at a beach house this summer during a week-long "college Christians go to the beach together" trip, I came across a book- The Bible. It seemed like your typical paper-back Bible, expect this one somehow conveyed that the author's name was God. Maybe it was weird because I've never seen a Bible actually attribute an author on the front like "Dan Brown" written on the front of "The DaVinci Code." Instead, I'm used to seeing the version of the Bible written on the front, such as "NRSV" or "King James Version" (I don't read the latter).
Or, maybe it was weird because it had the following written on the back:
About the Author:
GOD has been known and recognized as the supreme expert on such issues as life, death, forgiveness and truth. He works as a teacher, theologian, physician, father, son, counselor and many other things- all simultaneously without taking a break. His timeless classic, The Bible, has been translated into thousands of languages and read by people throughout the centuries from all walks of life. God works out of his home base in Heaven and can be reached by simply talking to him.
Wow...
The following conversation took place after the initial finding of this unique version of The Bible:
Me: (reads the back of the book)
BigMo: God is a theologian? Doesn't that seem kind of vain?
Converstaion progressed, and we were all happy to know that God works simultaneously on many different projects, all out of God's office in Heaven. (excuse me... his office in Heaven.) I wonder if he has a big desk?
