God

you know sometimes you see in a movie or read in a book about some fictional scenario where God, THE God, not a demi-God or sub-God but the ONE AND ONLY God appears as a human and in the movie does this or that.... often he even has an enemy, also a human, the Devil....

obviously it's just fiction and God does not appear as a human, even in the case of a demi-God like Jesus or Krishna where 'God' brings about the immaculate conception of the mother, so that the child is literally the Son of God, divinely conceived, the demi-God is still a man, after all, and subject to laws of nature like death, aging, decay, etc, like anyone else

it's a funny flight of fancy to think that God, THE God, would just 'materialize' out of nowhere, as a fully formed human, without having to go through the travail of childbirth and upbringing and training and education... to make 'special guest appearances', and seems to go against the Nature of the Creation in general........

on the other hand, it's often said that 'anything is possible with God'.... and certainly it may be possible that God can be appealed to directly for direct intervention in some scenario... it's probably true too, however it's probably too much malarkey to expect God to appear as a human, just out of nowhere, for your own entertainment...

still, that's why we have fiction, to make up unreal things so as to ponder different possibilities and suchlike....

today, my taxi car broke down less than half an hour after starting, and i had to call a tow truck, the car was towed back to base less than 3 miles away and i went home and chilled -- no need to work today....

while i don't believe God would just appear in human form 'out of nowhere' whenever he sees fit (i believe this would actually NEVER happen) even though 'anything's possible with God'....... i still love to think that if God ever would appear to me, in human form, it would be as my tow-truck driver today

he was rude, upset and cranky.... when i asked him a question he snaps: 'let me do my job'.... if i mentioned that he seemed upset on the ride home he says 'there are some issues' -- if i say 'like what' he says he doesn't want to talk about it.... he snaps at me to turn the steering wheel this way and that like i get towed everyday and am an expert on mounting a car onto a tow truck...... my directions aren't good enough, he needs an exact street number for his navegator... if i ask him if he's russian he says 'no, i speak eight languages, is that enough for you?' (as if to say, stop asking personal questions, but he also opens the door by asking why i would think he's russian)....... if i mention he's upset he says he's '70 years old and retired and only does this to keep his mind sharp'........

in short, if ever there were a single man the writer has ever met that seemed like the one and only God Himself (or Herself) in the flesh, appeared 'out of nowhere' (an impossibility most likely but a flight of fancy for sure), the writer can only wish it was this surly, rude tow-truck driver... this is the kind of God Benji believes in
