Conversation
Heading to band practice, some guy sat down next to me and started talking about guitar, eventually asking if I play spiritual music and seemed very disturbed by my “it depends” answer.
GoB: So you’re coming from work?
Me: Yup
GoB: Oh out at UBC? What do you do?
Me: [explains what I do]… what about you? What do you do?
GoB: Oh I’m doing some classes at UBC… and, you know, I preach the word [shows me a copy of the New Testament]
Me: Which classes are you taking? [trying to steer the conversation away from God]
GoB: [something intelligible]. Do you know God?
Me: Do I know God?!
GoB: Yeah, do you know God?
Me: Well no, of course not. Who knows God?
GoB: What?! Lots of people know God!
Me: Not on a face to face basis or anything. I’ve never met God. You can’t take a spiritual being and try to fit them in a corporal word.
GoB: But God can take any form!
Me: Well yeah, but that’s not really God, is it? I mean, anyone can pretend to be something else, but it doesn’t mean you actually know them.
GoB: You have to be very powerful to meet God, though.
Me: Well I’d hope so! There are a lot of people; if God wasted his time on the ones who weren’t powerful, nothing would ever get done.
GoB: Haha, you’re right!
Me: Wait; where are we? Did we pass Burrard? I think I missed my stop…
GoB: HAHA! I don’t know where we are!
Me: Oh man… I think I missed it. I’m going to blame you.
GoB: And God will blame you!
