This week's "Shouts and Murmurs" wasn't funny again but it was engaging, with slivers of wit scattered throughout. I found the idea of God and an angel acting as parents of the human race amusing but the repeated reference to God worrying about money disturbed me. So, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I began ruminating on the nature of God. It was very productive, and I ended up with the conclusion that "pain and bread are the same word."
