"I don't believe in you," says the entrepreneur. "I just want to make that clear."

"Okay," God says. "But in the interests of transparency, I think you should know that I believe in you."

They order their coffees in ceramic cups to avoid adding to the landfill.

God points to a young woman, only in her 20s. She's dressed in a stylish business suit, but she's got her head in her hands sleeping on the bar in the midst of the bustling café. They sit right next to her.

Kinda punches non-believers in the face, implying that we can only be good when a god helps us.

"An Entrepreneur and God Walk Into a Café ..." there's always got to be a good set up and the coda to bring it home.

I'll give it another read with the Mozart concerto later.

It's a nice story. One does not need god to be good, just able to listen and be empathic.

Hard to believe that Mozart detested writing for the flute!
