A Conversation with Ruby About God and Batman

Ruby: Why won’t you answer the door?

Me: Because those people want to talk to us about God.

Ruby: Is God real or pretend?

Me: God is real.

Ruby: God is in church.

Me: God is everywhere.

Ruby: What does God do all day?

Me: Well, God is in everything, so everything everything does all day is what God does all day.

A week later…

Ruby, watching Batman: Is Batman real or pretend?

Me: He’s a pretend character, but he’s real in our hearts and our collective consciousness.

Ruby: What does Batman do all day?

Me: Well, he’s the CEO of a huge corporation, so I imagine he goes to the office and works. Sometimes he hangs out in his Batcave waiting to help people who need help.

Ruby: With God?

Me: Sure.
