Not since former US President George W. Bush claimed to have had a conversation with God, the media has been strikingly silent about God's more recent whereabouts. He has simply dropped beneath the radar. Four months after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, President Bush said:
    I am driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did. And then God would tell me 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq'. And I did.
Sure, it's not always easy to track God's whereabouts and perhaps he's just taking a breather now that he has got the NSA to do all the dirty snooping work for him, but I wouldn't be surprised if God also has had a private chat with President Obama, since good old George didn't quite 'accomplish' the mission he was assigned to.

And I wouldn't be surprised either if God should have whispered a few encouraging words into Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's ear about how he should conduct the Endlösung (final solution) to the 'Palestinian problem'. As you may recall, Moses didn't quite accomplish his mission either:
    The Lord said to Moses, “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”

    So Moses said to the people, “Arm some of your men to go to war against the Midianites so that they may carry out the Lord’s vengeance on them. Send into battle a thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel.” So twelve thousand men armed for battle, a thousand from each tribe, were supplied from the clans of Israel. Moses sent them into battle, a thousand from each tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, who took with him articles from the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.

    They fought against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and killed every man. The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder. They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps. They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals, and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
And perhaps God even advised Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi about how he should accomplish his dream of re-establishing the long-lost Muslim Caliphate that lasted for about 800 years. According to a spokesman for ISIS (Abu Mohammed al-Adnani):
    Al-Adnani loosely defined the state territory as running from northern Syria to the Iraqi province of Diyala - a vast stretch of land straddling the border that is already largely under ISIS control.

    He also said that with the establishment of the caliphate, the group was changing its name to just the Islamic State, dropping the mention of Iraq, Sham and the Levant.

    However, in a map widely-shared by ISIS supporters on social networks, the Islamist group outlined a five-year plan for how they would like to expand their boundaries beyond Muslim-majority countries.

    As well as plans to expand the caliphate throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and large parts of western Asia, the map also marks out an expansion in parts of Europe.
Now, some may argue that I'm confusing three different gods or three different religions, but sadly, I am not. Christianity, Judaism and Islam all have the Old Testament as the backbone of their faith (Abrahamic religions), so of course I'm talking about the same God. He's just got different names depending on the faith.

So, back to my question. If someone has seen or know anything about God's whereabouts, I would be grateful to know. Please comment below as I have an urgent issue with him. I want him to stand trial at the International Criminal Court so that he can be judged and convicted of all the gruesome crimes against humanity he has instigated and committed throughout history. Thanks in advance.

So far, God hasn't issued any public statement condemning the Charlie Hebdo massacre, but according to Pope FrancisFreedom of expression is a “fundamental human right” like freedom of religion, but it should be exercised “without giving offense.” Regarding the Paris killings: if a friend insults my mother, “he’s going to get a punch.”
