Who is God?
In 1998, when major league baseball moved toward its
grand climax in the World Series, the whole world watched as the home run
records of Babe Ruth and Roger Marris were shattered by St. Louis Cardinals'
slugger, Mark McGwire. As McGwire rounded third and triumphantly
ran toward home plate after his first record breaking home run–number 62–he
pointed his index finger to heaven in a quasi-prayer of gratitude.
Later when he was interviewed he thanked "the Man Upstairs" for that home
run.
Is that who God is? The Man Upstairs? The Buddy Next door?
Is He some sort of celestial Santa Claus who gives us gifts–home runs or
otherwise–if we've been good?
