CONVERSATIONS addresses what God calls The Ultimate Question, namely, why people throughout the universe are killing one another in His name. God arrives on Earth as a male pre-med college student from South Dakota; Satan arrives as a feisty female English major and struggling writer with a love for high calorie cookies, cigarettes, and vodka. They spend two weeks, an hour a day, at The Crescent Moon addressing a wide range of problems that people, and people-like animals, but eventually deal with the issue of wholesale slaughter in the name of God. After reading CONVERSATIONS, you will never look at the sky, or your local church, in the same way again.
God and Satan convene at a Lincoln, Nebraska coffee house to debate humanity's propensity for violence in His name. God, appearing as a male pre-med student, and Satan, a spirited female English major, spend two weeks grappling with the 'Ultimate Question' of why sentient beings kill each other while professing faith. Their discussions, held daily at The Crescent Moon, explore a broad spectrum of existential and ethical dilemmas, ultimately confronting the core issue of religiously motivated slaughter.
This novel presents a unique theological and philosophical debate framed through an unconventional, often humorous, dialogue between divine entities. The premise suggests a thought-provoking exploration of faith, morality, and human conflict, likely appealing to readers interested in existential questions and satirical takes on religious dogma. The narrative structure, centered on conversations, implies a character-driven approach with a focus on dialogue and intellectual sparring. The setting grounds the cosmic discussion in a mundane, relatable environment, potentially enhancing the impact of the profound themes discussed.
