Thank you for your review!
Comment from Bill Schott
I am amazed and delighted that you have posed these questions to the "Manufacturer" in order to get some timely clarification to these various misinterpretations.

Thank you for this very well constructed and written post.
'Love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.' Post that on school walls if you must push religion onto public school students.
The scriptures are replete with references to life being in the breath and also in the blood. Not at conception.
Sincere best wishes.

Thank you so much for your review!
Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
This was brilliantly done. I just adore it. I wish I had a six, a ten! Marvelous. Your approach is divine! :-)
Read mine. I thought mine was a shoe-in to win. Now my competitive nature says you should WoW the crowd. Thank goodness I am a lady and not prone to sticking pins in dolls simply to win a contest. I look forward to reading more of your work. Karen

Comment from Wendy G
A clever and witty letter, comparing the Bible to a manual of "rules for living", and it is easy to see why and how so many groups form, all of whom consider themselves to be the correct interpreters of His manual and/or its "updates". Some of your points eg 3a may ruffle some feathers, but perhaps they have overlooked this section of the manual. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Thank you, Wendy! I think feathers are overdue for some ruffling.
Comment from lyenochka
To call God a "Manufacturer" gives it a rather mechanical ring - almost as if an android is writing.
Indeed we are all in need of help! But as you have quoted both from the Old and New Testament, and focused on Love, I think that's where the answer lies. Love moved God to redeem all humanity (His "customers") as no one of them could fully fulfill the Law. So the "update" came in the form of Jesus.
Enjoyed your unique style for this contest entry. You addressed the problems we have had when some have mistaken a radical patriotism and cultic following of a certain political figure for faith in God. Keep the faith in the real God and keep praying.
Best wishes in the contest!

I laughed all the way through your post. I'm still laughing. I can't stop! That is why I'm giving you six stars. I'm still laughing. You should've tried to get a refund on it. Keep up the Good Word. signed Knowledge.

Wow. This is quite hilarious. And spot-on. Here's hoping the company head honcho has a sense of humor, though, or said honcho might choose to invoke rule 32:35 in the Deuteronomy section on you about revenge being his.
Good luck in the Dear G-d contest!! xo

This satirical approach to your questions gives them additional impact and engages the reader. You've certainly asked the boss some searching questions!

Hi, AZ. Your father and I have been reviewing each other for quite a while now. I know you are his son because he mentioned you as such.
This is quite an entertaining post and seems to be written from a liberal standpoint. I agree with you all the issues you document. Do you know that there are still 60+ children who have not been reunited with their parents? And it's because the trump administration did not track their parents were
I'm really getting a kick out of this contest entry. It's very humorous in the way that it tries to explain the manual and relate that to real life.
I enjoyed reading your story
Good job.
