A Democratic Theory Of God
God should be an elected position. The electorate should be presented with various images of God: purely loving; harsh and vengeful; indifferent, etc. Then every person on earth should vote. Whoever wins will be God for the next four years.
Same-Sex
A same-sex marriage is one where the partners have the same sex, year after year: dull and routine.
Same-sex marriage is extremely common in the United States.
Anomalous Dishes
When staying with friends, I make it a point to help put away dishes from the dishwasher or drying rack. Most of the items are easy to reshelve, but I always find an anomaly — a very small spoon, an oblong platter — and I must ask my host where it goes. I feel great affection for the single ceremonial fork, the lonely egg cup.
