I shared with my Form V Theology class the other day a bit of philosophical humor. “God is dead,” said F.W. Nietzsche in 1884. “Nietzsche is dead,” said God in 1900. God always gets the last laugh, but his publicity is decidedly understated.A Reading from the Book of Job (Ch 38)
Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm and said: Who is this who darkens counsel with words of ignorance? Gird up your loins now, like a man; I will question you, and you tell me the answers! Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its size? Surely you know? Who stretched out the measuring line for it? Into what were its pedestals sunk, and who laid its cornerstone, while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Have you ever in your lifetime commanded the morning and shown the dawn its place for taking hold of the ends of the earth, till the wicked are shaken from it? Have you entered into the sources of the sea, or walked about on the bottom of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you, or have you seen the gates of darkness? Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Tell me, if you know it all. What is the way to the dwelling of light, and darkness – where is its place? That you may take it to its territory and know the paths to its home?
