Life Is One Big Exam None Of Us Studied For

J.R. gets deep:

Jason,
Is there a God? And if so, why did he make fruitcake?

Yes, there is.

Why he made fruitcake depends on who you talk to.  Fruitcaketarians believe God made fruitcake in his own image.  But that’s just crazy.  I mean, c’mon, these are people who feel nuts have no place in bread.  Who could possibly buy into something like that?

But it is my belief that the existance of fruitcake is a test from God.  Just like stone.  If someone put a brick on a plate in front of you and handed you a fork, would you eat it?  No.  And you would past God’s test.  Fruitcake, being a camoflaged brick, is God getting tricky and showing that he has a sense of humor.  Being a forgiving God he won’t judge you if you eat it because he gets a good chuckle out of it.
