“History is His Story.” I saw this on a billboard today during my eternal driving around Mason to pick up a cell phone Sarah accidentally stole. As I pondered the billboard, I thought: “Bullshit.” Are world wars God’s history? Are the crusades God’s history? Is rape, murder, and genocide God’s history? God is involved in history, but sometimes I wonder if it is more our story than His. I’m not claiming to be a deist, I’m just wrestling with this concept that attributes everything in history—even the god-awful atrocities committed by human beings—to God playing humanity as if we were chess pieces on a global chessboard. Sometimes I wonder if history is more along the lines of God reaching out to Man and Man giving God the finger.
