U.S. — Theologians have clarified that all of creation does declare the glory of God, but with the notable exception of New Jersey.
Debate continues over why a good and loving God would allow New Jersey to exist, with many speculating that perhaps it is there to show the true horror of God’s absence.
“The glories of God can be seen and understood through His creation, unless you’re in New Jersey,” explained theology professor Mark Gorman. “Apart from the specific revelation of Scripture, there is a general revelation of God’s existence and nature that is available to all through His creation. Thus all are without excuse, except people from Jersey. We can totally understand how they might not be able to tell there’s a beneficent God.”
Gorman noted that while New Jersey had complicated the doctrine of general revelation, it had greatly simplified lectures on the consequences of the Fall.
“I used to spend so much time arguing how sin has corrupted the created order,” he said. “Now I just take the class on a field trip to Newark. Nobody has any follow-up questions. Usually, a few students get saved on the bus ride home.”
At publishing time, theologians had agreed that allowing New Jersey to continue existing did at least provide compelling evidence of God’s longsuffering patience.
