Godless

Author: Pete Hautman

Who said God was in Heaven? Jason Bock doesn't know the answer to that question, so he decides that God could be anywhere, be anything. Maybe the water tower right there in his own town. After Jason poses his theory to his best friend, Shin, the religion grows. Soon Jason and Shin have 4 members and things are getting out of control. Keeping the religion on the right track is harder that Jason predicted. When their first meeting is on top of their God, the water tower, and things go terrible wrong, Jason realizes that he is no longer in charge of how his group is going to worship his creation.
Personal opinion:
Jason Bock is brilliant, stupid, but brilliant, He doesn't realize the influence that he has over his friends. By the time he realizes that things have gone to far, its too late. Jason learns that sometimes, even if its innocent and ridiculous for you, others may take it to the next level. Shin for example needed something to hold to and Jason provided an outlet. Its always difficult to judge how people will react to an idea, but that is why we all have to be careful with them.
