“If God dwells inside us, like some people say, I sure hope He likes enchiladas because that’s what He’s getting” was written by Jack Handey in Deeper Thoughts (1993), a sequel to his book Deep Thoughts (1992). Handey’s short, humorous “Deep Thoughts” was a popular feature of the television show Saturday Night Live.
Alternative lines to “I sure hope He likes enchiladas” include “I hope He likes nachos,” “I hope He likes burritos and Miller Lite” and “I hope He likes nachos.”
