I thought it was a cool retake on the usual way people say how the world was made. I kind of like the idea of a God who doesnt really know any better more than the idea of a God who can do so many horrible things to the world and its people. I thought the story was hillarious, and got a dirty look from my teacher when I couldn’t stop giggling during my science class. I dont think I will ever be able to look at the moon again with out giggling

[...] “Intelligent Design” by Ellen Klages (read by M. K.

Yes, it was very cute and a nice story. To Hyperion: that was a horrible pun at the end, a definite groaner.

Kinda makes me sad though; I’m not really taking offense to it, but still, it kinda ruins the fun of the story. Yes, I’m a Catholic, whaddya gonna do about it?

Sincerely,

Those who would find it offensive are probably unable to differentiate between truth and fiction. The ‘baking of animals’ resonated with me, being a mother of a preschooler, and as a Christian, I liked hearing a different take on the Creation story. This one put a smile on my face.

Oh my, how delightful!

I too, could not help but wonder if the story used by some or received by others as offensive.

But what can you do? It’s just a title, and it would be a shame if anyone let that overshadow such a wonderful idea.

Impish God was great, and GrandmaGod was perfect too.

Simply Divine.

This one was funny. Although, some of the religious listeners might take offense at the comparison of God to a small boy-child and the apparent mockery of what the title suggests. Definitely worth the listen. Great choice.
