The below text was originally going to be posted into story ideas until I decided that maybe the text (as a whole) would be a good humor and satire story. Opinions on this story idea are welcomed. It is not posted and is perhaps too short to even be posted:
I'm not sure that this would make a good story but it brought a grin to my face when I thought of it and I realized I'd have an easier time sleeping if I shared. Before mentioning this idea, I should explain the thought process which brought me to it. It was late at night and I was contemplating having a conversation with god. There are a lot of controversies one might ask god's "opinion" on. I further wondered how god would respond if asked if he was perfect and if asked if he ever changed his mind.
These two questions are vital to such a conversation. Unless God is omniscient, God being perfect does not preclude him changing his mind. And having a conversation with someone who you know is not going to be in any way persuaded by what you say just isn't fun. But I digress.
I then contemplated asking god his opinion on gays. Many believe god is against it so I envisioned god responding that he didn't like it. Of course at this point I would have to ask why; how else would I be able to prove god wrong? I envisioned God's response to be that there was no potential for gay partners to produce new life. At this point, my mind briefly visited thoughts about whether this had any significant impact on population and whatnot. However, my eventual thought was that if that was god's only issue, god could just make it so that gays could procreate. At this point, I determined that gay males would have a serious issue with this (men are NOT built for pregnancy). However, I thought gay females is somewhat feasible, providing a minor miracle occured.
I then thought further that lesbians might be quite disconcerted by this change. I doubt lesbians are as prone to trying to protect against unwanted pregnancy as male-female pairs. Besides, I can imagine two lesbians having a fight once the pregnancy surfaced. I am sure the pregnant lesbian's partner would be less than believing of claims that there was nobody else. Even DNA testing would probably just cause people to assume some random scientists had managed to somehow use an egg's dna to fertilize another egg. With sheep being cloned, it isn't that far-fetched.
Now, I realize that there are some people who have open relationships so the obvious solution (or so I mused) is to pick one of them to avoid such issues. Still, being so selective is a bit more active than the usual godly actions. So, I figured that god could just pick ONE such couple and fiddle with one of the lesbian's dna to allow her (and her children) to be capable of becoming pregant from having sex with another woman.
Now, these thoughts are already at the point where god might very well not appreciate them but my next thought is what takes the cake. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this. If god is going to take such an active role as to cause a woman to become pregnant without having sex (with a man), then that would be a virgin birth. So, that baby could very well be the next messiah.
