"We're a cartoon; we have to make it funny for God." -- [livejournal.com profile] charichan, when she was four years old, having already figured out the meaning of life. (It's still the best answer I've ever heard.)

This is more or less a statement of my most deeply held religious belief.

Cool!

It's consistent with the "God as cosmic Author" theological model that I came up with in college, and frequent observations that God has a sense of humour, but that didn't include purpose the way this does.

Cartoonishly large eyes?

I think my own eyes went kind of big when those words popped out of her mouth. She'd been asking me questions about God, and I'd been trying to answer them, and then she seemed to have decided that she'd figured out the thing that had sparked the questions, and made that pronouncement which has really been stuck in my brain ever since.

*grin* You know what the best thing is? She hasn't changed. :)

Neat! I haven't seen her in a long time. We did briefly exchange email when I asked permission to use this quote.

I have a Nancybutton along the lines of "if we're here for the entertainment of the gods, we might as well put on a good show"
