Now the Lord God said to DJ Spinoza,
Baruch, are you there?
And DJ Spinoza replied to the Lord God,
Here I am!
God: Baruch, how about you be my mirror?
DJ: Mirror? But God spelled backwards reads dog!
God: Don't be so literal.
Tell me something nice
about myself, tell me I exist.
DJ: You exist.
God: No, say it like you mean it.
DJ: Why are you so needy today? Is everything alright?
God: I was just thinking: If I really am Absolutely Transcendent, then I don't exist at all, do I?
DJ: But, Lord, remember the cogito: If you think you don't exist, you
exist!
God: Yeah, I guess so.
(Silence.)
Now the Lord God said to DJ Spinoza,
Baruch!
And DJ Spinoza replied to the Lord God,
Here I am!
God: Are you sure? I mean, your argument, it's not just verbal, is it? Does it really apply?
DJ: Inasmuch as anything applies.
God: But nothing really applies. Does the word dog apply to dogs? Ask yourself that.
DJ: Does the word dog apply to dogs?
God: Nu?
DJ: I can't tell. Shall we test it? (DJ Spinoza walks over to Yasha.) Yasha! Yasha! (Yasha wakes up.) Yasha, dog! Dog, Yasha! Dog, Yasha, dog! (Yasha stares incomprehendingly.)
God: You see?
