How would you react if someone in your social circle claimed to be the God of the Old Testament?

Discuss

Ask him why he’s off his meds again.

If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.

This isn’t one of those “Need answer fast” situations is it?

Ask him a question in Hebrew.

Call another friend who has lots of experience with mental illness, and ask for help.

Not at present…

I would assume they were joking, but would be considerably alarmed about their mental health if it turned out they were serious.

Ask him why the Jews had to endure so much shit, just to get back to Israel.

I’d point out that today was April third already.

I’d ask if it would spoil some vast, eternal plan if I were a wealthy man.

But the sweetest thing of all would be to have the time one likes to sit in the synagogue and pray(and maybe have a seat by the eastern wall):slight_smile:

I love that song!

I would call him a liar, because I am the true God of the Old Testament.

They had better make with some miracles to prove their claim if they wanted me to believe it.

:dubious:

I’m going to have to see some ID.

“Then what are you doing living your shitty life?” :dubious:

Have him swear an oath.

“So help Me, Me.”

(In case anyone misses the reference here –

From the 1977 movie “Oh, God!” starring George Burns.)

Ask if I could bum a joint from him.

Based on my upbringing, I’d assume it was a trick, the influence of drugs, or disordered thinking caused by a stroke that led me to believe I had a social circle.
