God is Now Your Friend on MySpace

I received an email this morning. Its subject line was, “God is now your friend
on MySpace.” I knew God had a sense of humor because I checked out his MySpace page. Instead of a photo of Himself, he had a portrait of Himself by Michaelangelo. It was painted a long time ago. God probably looks a lot older now. Also, I thought the index song that plays when you download His page might be “Adventures in Paradise,” or something similar. It’s Eric Burden and the Animals’ doing “House of the Rising Son.”

I’ve often heard average people say that no one really knows which path leads to God, but I do. I was searching for a poetry site on the internet called, “Shaking Like a Mountain,” a cite that wants poems about songs. On SLAM’s Myspace page was a friend listing for “Dead Men Interviews” which I’d heard about somewhere. The interviewer, Michael Stusser, will ask of painter Frida Kahlo, for example, if she might consider a brow wax.

While listening to these Dead Man mp3 interviews, I saw a friend listing for Historical People, so I clicked the link to that page and there was “Cyrus the Great” whose bio I had seen the night before on the History Channel. I went to the Cyrus the Great’s space, and there, among his friends, was God. I sent God an email, asking Him if he would be my friend. He responded promptly and became my friend #281. He’s not a “Top Friend” yet, but who knows? It could happen. Anyway, that’s the path I took to find God.
