The obituary of God
After a long and ineffable existence, God the Almighty, alias Allah, etcetera, departed this life with, ipso facto, no possible prospect of meeting His Maker. Seeing all but always unseen, He kept Himself to Himself but was pictured by mortals as everything from Kon-Tiki the sun god to God the Son.
The cause of death remains unclear though undisclosed sources in Murdoch’s new News of the World without End insist He was ‘Damned and Destroyed by Dawkins’ – an odd assumption since neither came anywhere near each other. .
Little, with any certainty, is known about God although countless children will doubtless mourn the demise of the bearded man in the sky just as many committed Anglicans will continue to worship whatever it is that they always have.
God’s tragic omega is not expected to affect the status quo. For believers and atheists alike it should be ‘business as usual’.
