An Act of God
David Javerbaum
God gets a second chance to dish it all out for us —delivering the rewrite of the ages, with some added snarky social commentary for our amusement! You’ve been waiting your whole life, but when God finally speaks, you might be surprised by what He has to say.
In this hilarious divine comedy, the Almighty takes a crack at rewriting the Ten Commandments and he gives it to us straight. Inhabiting a mortal vessel, this world-weary God invokes many classic straight shooters from the past. But even Howard Stern and Johnny Carson would blush at God’s audacity as He takes to the stage to address the misconceptions mankind has amassed over the eons.
As a talk show guest, plan to have your assumptions challenged while God navigates you through religious doctrine, moral dilemmas, and your own human foibles with a blend of satire and irreverent humor.
With worthy sidekicks like archangels Michael and Gabriel, God’s reflections on creation, faith, and the nature of good and evil just might open some pearly gates for you in the future.
A divine comedy — not for the faint of heart.
