"God!" "I bet You CAN'T buy me that winning lottery ticket!" Oh yeah...You can try but, I don't think You can do it!" "I'll bet You $20 bucks You can't do it!"
"If I win the $200,000,000, I am a man of my word and I will put $20 bucks in the offering plate on Sunday" "If I don't win, then You owe me $20 bucks!"
Then I, pulling $40 dollars out of my wallet say, "That's right, last week we went double or nothing!"
There is "God" in the title, I'll grant you, but really this is a better fit in the "Humor" section. You have to scroll down quite a bit. It's after "The Arts" section in the "Discussion" sub-forum just before the start of "The Pit" sub-forum. While lots of us are into humor some mods could eventually get pissy about the placement. Just in case you're having trouble locating it, here is a link:

I never understood where people got this idea. A cursory reading of the bible reveals that God doesn't know a lot of stuff. He asked Adam if he had eaten the fruit. He should have already known! He asked Cain where his brother was. He experienced regret after the flood. He had to send angels to find out if there were really just men in Sodom. And that's just Genesis.
So why does God ask these things if he already knows them? Is he just fucking with people?
That explains it, most of those who trust it unflinchingly on every word don't care to read it.
