God's wicked sense of humour on Facebook

Whether you're christian, atheist, buddhist or whatever — it seems you can now befriend God on Facebook. And he has a wicked sense of humour.

Impersonating people on online services isn't unique to Facebook — Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer, John Howard and Barrack Obama have all had high profile fakers.

But when a deity appears on Facebook, one has to wonder who would dare risking the wrath of eternal damnation for heavenly identity theft.

So, when we saw pictures of God's Facebook page floating round the internet, we figured he was connecting in via PG/IP (pearly gates / internet protocol).

Looking at His profile, we were shocked to discover He has a surprisingly wicked sense of humour.

"God is high like a kite… literally cuz I'm in da sky" reads one of his status lines.

"God is borrrrrrrrrrred lol" reads another.

God has been involved in creating many new groups on Facebook including Garden of Eden (with suitably paradisical iconography), and counts Adam and Eve among his top friends (note, Adam and Eve are listed as being in a relationship, tsk tsk).

With regard to the Garden of Eden, the group rules are "No shirt, no shoes, no sin, no problem! Stay away from the apples, seriously."

In a possible reference to Channel 9's Eddie Maguire, God sent Eve an online gift of a dummy, with the message: "it's the pain of childbirth! Hope that apple was worth it. Btw ur just a rib. Probably why Adam wanted to BONE you. LOL!"

Anyway, see if you can hit God up to become one of his friends. Right now, he's just "sittin' around being omnipotent." Trouble is, searching Facebook for "God" yields no results — perhaps He is being deliberately mysterious, or maybe it's just an invite-only party for now.

Excellent - the best place for a non-existent being to be is in a virtual world. Makes perfect sense :-)

Virtual worlds exist though, so flawed statement.

Fair enough - I'll qualify. The best place for a man-made entity is in a man-made space (person-made space, sorry for my lack of gender awareness). But as long as he's on Facebook and off the streets making a nuisance of himself, I'm happy.

pretty sure facebook wont let you register a single name... whoever did it probably photoshopped out the rest of the name in the screenshots.

Plus the fact that newest stuff on your wall is first, not the oldest stuff?

I spotted a grey haired old man driving a Gold Coloured Sigma with rego GOD-001 around Mona Vale.
I guess what they were always saying about his living on the Northern Beaches was true all along.

That's not God because in the Bible it talks about the Bible: Job 40:15-24 ¶ Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his
sword to approach [unto him].
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook
compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he
can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.
