What if God were a teenage boy?
Bob wasn’t born God, but when his mother wins the job in a poker game, she gives it to her son, wanting only the best for him. And so Bob creates the heavens and earth and all the creatures of the earth and sea and millions of other species (including lots of cute girls). But every time Bob falls in love, the earth is besieged by earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters. And now, Bob is smitten with a completely irresistible girl called Lucy.
The world had better watch out.
