Dispatches From Kint

Episode 10: The God Committee

11 Nov 2025

Description

In Kint, divinity is too important to leave to certainty, so the God Committee meets every season to review the question of whether a deity exists, and if so, what kind of personality they might reasonably have. The meetings are cordial but inconclusive: some members argue for a benevolent presence who arranges lost socks into meaningful patterns, while others insist any true god would at least return library books on time. One scholar proposes that God might simply be ā€œa very small warmth that moves between people during acts of kindness,ā€ which the committee agrees is poetic but unhelpfully vague. Citizens submit evidence in sealed envelopes: a flower blooming out of schedule, a surprisingly good piece of advice from a stranger, a raincloud shaped like an encouraging hand. After hours of lively but indecisive debate, the committee traditionally votes to postpone the verdict, concluding that if a deity is watching, they likely appreciate the effort. Until further notice, Kint continues to operate under the motto: "Your guess is as good as mine." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
