Leonard Pitts again, in The Seattle Times:

"You said, 'Mouths lie, hearts don't,' " I said. He was inspecting an apple. "That's fine for you. You can read hearts. We can't. So why shouldn't we ask a politician to tell us how he feels about You?"

A sigh. "I am not a prop," said God.

"Beg pardon?"

"For years, the conservatives have tried to make me their mascot: 'God wants a Yes vote on Prop. 13. God wants a tax cut.' Now this Dean fellow wants to show that I'm on his side. I am the author of creation and the painter of every sunset. I was here before the first and will be here after the last. I am not a political prop.
