I'm really loving this book

The angel and I watched Star Wars for the second time on television last night, and I just had to ask. "You've been in God's presence, right, Raziel?"
"Of course."
"Do you think he sounds like James Earl Jones?"
"Who's that?"
"Darth Vader."
Raziel listened for a moment while Darth Vader threatened someone. "Sure, a little. He doesn't breathe that heavy though."
"And you've seen God's face."
"Yes."
"Is he black?"
"I'm not allowed to say."
"He is, isn't he? If he wasn't you'd just say he wasn't."
"I'm not allowed to say."
"He is."
"He doesn't wear a hat like that, " said Raziel.
"Ah ha!"
"All I'm saying is no hat. That's all I'm saying."
"I knew it."
"I don't want to watch this anymore." Raziel switched the channel. God (or someone who sounded like him) said, "This is CNN."
