“Are you there God? It’s me, Margaret” (post 2) by Judy Blume: New movie of the book acknowledges that Margaret was agnostic


“Puberty provides most of the movie’s outright and tender comedy. But its depths are captured in Margaret’s seeking, in the notion that her No. 1 interlocutor might be a God she’s not even sure exists” (1).


Comment: Since Margaret was agnostic, her conversations with God raised the question of what, psychologically, she was doing. In post 1, I mentioned possibilities, but the book doesn’t address the issue.
