Can god die?

Well, if my daughter Jispa is to be believed then for sure. “When all the men die and then god will die and then the world will become smaller and smaller and then break”. Something like that. So yes God can die. To which I asked how is it possible for God to die. “If God does not eat then he will die” – came the matter of fact reply. Fair enough I say. “But God is in everything, plants, leaves, flowers. So God will always live” To which she asked – “do flowers die?” “Yes”, I said. She then looks with triumph and says – “see then God can also die”. “But then he is the sky and the ground. Does the sky ever eat anything? Can it die? See, God cannot die.”. “Noooo. How can God be in the ground” she laughs. Ok at this point I wanted to tell her that I am a pantheist, but I decide against it. “look, see, your school bus has come. Bye, see you”
Saved by the bus.

Another sign of daughter growing up:- she went to the loo at Imax alone. She went in on her own, did her pee and came outside to me waiting. This is around two month’s old photograph. I never did manage to put it up. But I thought ut might be well worth capturing. Quite a historic moment in the journey of our little Joan of arc.
