The anchors at ESPN are showing what I'm sure are fairly typical reactions to this bit of annual surrealism. To think that eating 64 hot dogs in ten minutes is good for second...

Regina Spektor - Laughing with
I was kind of blindsided by this song on the drive in to work. The DJ said to listen to the words, and I was actually ready to not be impressed. I wasn't totally paying attention. Then there was a mention of God. Then one soon after. Then the realization, this is a song about God. Or rather, about our reactions to the God we perceive.
Regina Spektor is no theologian (I don't think) but what she expresses about God rings true. And lately I'm appreciating this qualitative "true" more than the "true/false" kind. A broad stroke simplification is right brain/left brain, or feeling/thinking. While our feelings aren't important, they point out way more than I was led to believe growing up.
That said, I'm not a big fan of the last line, and leaving it at who's laughing and who isn't and leaving us all hanging to consider "so what do we do about that?" rings truer, albeit probly less song-like.
Still, I'm overall pleased that God is "out there". For what it's worth, I'm thankful for your song, Regina. It spoke to me.
