Other Models of God
nGod as hotel-keeper
nIf everything is not just right, he is not doing his job.
nBut maybe God is not a hotel-keeper.
nGod as novelist
nCan a novelist be a good person and have bad characters in his novel?
nCan a good novelist have even the good characters in his novel experience suffering?
nYes!  Two of my favorites are TolkienÕs Lord of the Rings and LewisÕ Narnia Chronicles.
