god punting

God punting is essentially a lazy technique religious people use to answer questions. Instead of giving you a solid & factual answer, they chalk it up to "God's doing" or "God's work." It's also used frequently by parents who can't be bothered to do a Google search or open a book, so they tell their curious children (who ask brilliant questions) that "God did it" or "God created that."

Little Bobby- "Dad, why do the stars twinkle?"

Dad- "Because God makes them twinkle. Now run along & let Dad watch his football game."

Little Bobby- "Dad, are you God punting me?"
