The phone rings, I pick up the phone to answer:

Hello

Hi, Miguel, my name is God, I would like to know if you have five minutes for answering some market study questions.
Okay, I guess.

It is for a quality survey that I am doing.
Okay, let’s go then.

Thanks. First I would like to make a few personal questions to understand your market preferences. Do you believe in any monotheist god?
No. I am an atheist.

Hm.. fair enough. Let’s skip the other questions then.
In a scale from 0 to 5, zero very bad and 5 very good, how do you classify the wealth distribution in the world?
Zero.

Ok, but you know “The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion” [Psalms 116:5] “And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice”. [Psalms 50:6]
Using the same scale, how well do you think that people misjudged me?
Zero.

Hm, I will just add that “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” [John 1:5]. Moreover, “As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.”[Psalms 18:30]
Last question, are you aware that without God you are lost?
Not at all.

Keep in mind that “When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him. For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.” [Deuteronomy 4:24–31].
One last thing, would you like to receive a knife kit in your home?
Not interested.

But is totally free, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” [James 1:17]
