What if God were a teenage boy?
In the beginning, Bob created the heavens and the earth and the beasts of the field and the creatures of the sea, and twenty-five million other species (including lots of cute girls). But mostly he prefers eating junk food and leaving his dirty clothes in a heap at the side of his bed. Every time he falls in love, Earth erupts in natural disasters, and it's usually Bob's beleaguered assistant, Mr. B., who is left cleaning up the mess. So humankind is going to be very sorry indeed that Bob ever ran into a beautiful, completely irresistible girl called Lucy... http://us.penguingroup.com/

Can you imagine? Now don't get all excited that I have converted or anything—especially not to a religion fronted by a teenage boy. But this made me think: Assuming, regardless of personal belief, what if this were true? How would the world be different?
My guess is that we women would all look like the women in super-hero comic books.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? WHAT WOULD IT CHANGE IF THIS WERE TRUE?
By the way:
Apparently, Meg Rosoff is getting a raft-load of you-know-what for this book being "blasphemous"—because she asked a what-if that might challenge individual to look at their beliefs. It was a Christian school, so sure they have the right to offer what works in their belief structure, but what are they afraid of?
