God's Sense of Humour in Facebook

Irrespective of your faith and beliefs — it seems you can now befriend God on Facebook. And he has a wicked sense of humour.

Impersonating people on online services isn't unique to Facebook — Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer, John Howard and Barrack Obama have all had high profile fakers.

But when a deity appears on Facebook, one has to wonder who would dare risking the wrath of eternal damnation for the heavenly identity theft.

So, when I saw pictures of God's Facebook page floating round the internet, I figured he was connecting in via PG/IP (pearly gates / internet protocol).

Looking at His profile, I was shocked to discover He has a surprisingly wicked sense of humour.

"God is high like a kite… literally cuz I'm in da sky" reads one of his status lines.

"God is borrrrrrrrrrred lol" reads another.

God has been involved in creating many new groups on Facebook including Garden of Eden (with suitably paradisical iconography), and counts Adam and Eve among his top friends (note, Adam and Eve are listed as being in a relationship, tsk tsk).

With regard to the Garden of Eden, the group rules are "No shirt, no shoes, no sin, no problem! Stay away from the apples, seriously."

In a possible reference to Channel 9's Eddie Maguire, God sent Eve an online gift of a dummy, with the message: "it's the pain of childbirth! Hope that apple was worth it. Btw ur just a rib. Probably why Adam wanted to BONE you. LOL!"

Anyway, see if you can hit God up to become one of his friends. Right now, he's just "sittin' around being omnipotent." Trouble is, searching Facebook for "God" yields no results — perhaps He is being deliberately mysterious, or maybe it's just an invite-only party for now.

Truly the mysterious ways of the "Almighty" !!
