"God stays in Heaven." Says Melissa, matter-of-factly. "Oh?" I respond, tuning in, hoping for a glimpse into her soul. "Yeah." she answers flatly. "Because He's dead." Has she decided this because she can't see God?
I'm glad I got that sorted out. It leaves so much more time available to listen to long-winded discussions about dragons. Dragons are very real and alive to her. Why is that? Why dragons and not God?
Bemused. A very familiar emotion when talking to Melissa.
