Hi. This is God. I thought you guys needed a modern medium with which to enhance your spirituality. Flaming bushes are so last month (and also pose a fire hazard . . . not to mention being irresponsible in times of drought). Remember that there is that of me in you. Don't be freaked out, that's not meant literally. Please note that disrespect will result in damnation, hellfire, and mildew. Later.
