Man builds box, God doesn't fit.

That's my best one so far.

Patrick and I came upon an interesting creative exercise yesterday. One I would encourage you to enter on your own. If you come up with anything you like. Please post it in the comments.

I was reading Wired Magazine and in the issue they asked a number of authors and science fiction affiliated people to write 6 word science fiction short stories. Here are some of my favorites.

machine. Unexpectedly, I'd invented a time -Alan Moore

Failed SAT. Lost scholarship. Invented rocket. -William Shatner

Wasted day, wasted life, dessert please. -Steven Meretzky

With bloody hands, I say good-bye. -Frank Miller

It cost too much, staying human. -Bruce Sterling

The baby's blood type? Human, mostly. -Orson Scott Card

Time machine reaches future! ...nobody there... -Harry Harrison


So last night Patrick and I decided to try to sum up christianity in one of these "short stories."

We soon figured out that it was very tough. If you don't come up with any good ones summing up all of christianity, focus on an aspect of it. Patrick kept trying to fit in Noah's ark because of some weird psychological obsession he has with it. Here are a few of the others we came up with.

God creates, man breaks, God redeems.

Science proven true, God still exists.

Jesus saves, Nike endorsement, game over. (this one's satirical if you didn't get it)

Same old torn jeans, new patch. (this is my favorite one)

It was a very interesting creative exercise and I would like to see what you out there in blogdom come up with.
