have you heard of the holy mudder?

I had an insanely busy day today. Lots of people buying towels. Lots and lots and lots of towels. Do you know how hard it is to fold towels? Very hard.

Anyway, I went on my well earned lunch break and I was walking to get some much needed nourishment.

I suddenly got greeted by three Asian girls.

"Hi! We're South Korean students. We're doing a survey. Can we talk to you?"

"Ok," I said, thinking it would take all of five minutes.

The survey was five questions. Each of them full of crazy Christian theologies. I'm a Christian, have been for the better part of my life, but a lot of these were theological ideas that I had never heard od with before.

As I ticked the boxes I thought to be correct (because let's face it, the crazy questions had equally crazy questions), they would nod their heads in some form of encouragement.

When I had finished, one of the girls (I fear she was being peer-reviewed by her two colleagues) asked,

"Can I read to you from the Bible?"

"Ok..." Hoping it would be your fairly standard message of Christian salvation, and I could say, 'Yep, I get that' and have lunch. I hoped it, but judging by the survey, I was going to get quite a sermon today.

She pulled out Revelation. The back end where they talk about Jesus and that Bride of Christ.

"Who is the Bride?"

"Err... She is the... church?"

"No. She is Mudder God. Back in Genesis 1:26 it says 'Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness...So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

If God created male and female in his image, isn't there a mudder Got?"

"But then how does that fit in with Jesus and the trinity?"

Insert a lot of confused looks on my behalf and a lot of tenuous links from Genesis and Revelation and nothing in between on her behalf.

Half an hour later, I was still hungry and I still didn't quite understand who this Mudder Got was and how she related to me.

They have my number. And my email and they have promised to call me or sms me. I think I'll brush up on my theological debating skills because I think it will get a workout if they ever do contact me again.

I have no idea what church they're from. it all seems a bit odd. I've wracked my brain trying to think what denomination believes that. I've come up with a big fat zero.

But I'll know to say no to South Korean students who are 'doing a survey'
