The Metatron _God? Lonely. But funny. She’s got a great sense of humor. Take sex for example. There’s nothing funnier than the ridiculous faces you people make mid-coitus._ and _Any documented occasion when some yahoo claims God has spoken to them, they’re speaking to me. Or they’re talking to themselves._ ---
