The Story of God
The article describes The Story of God as "an alternative interpretation of the Christian Bible as seen through the eyes of an atheist", but that seems misleading. I'm not sure how to rewrite it, but I can explain why it feels wrong:

I'm sure Matheson is probably an atheist, so from an external point of view, his take on the Bible is that of an atheist. But internally, it's a strongly theistic take on the story. All of the supernatural events in the Bible are taken as real, and really supernatural.

In fact, it's an ultra-literalist summary of the Bible. The joke is that it's written from the PoV of God, based on the assumption that, since he created man in his own image, his thoughts are exactly what you'd expect from a man who did all the things God did. --173.228.85.220 (talk) 08:34, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
