In the beginning of the book God is a huge part of Marji's life. She wanted to be the next prophet even though she was a girl. She made her own book of rules like the Ten Commandments. Sadly only her grandma believed in her. God would always come visit her whenever she wanted him to. She would even compare God to Carl Marx imagining what God looked like. When she began to support the revolution against the new Regime God started to disappear in her life.
The one night Marji was picturing herself as different military leaders to imagine herself being a focal point of the revolution. That was the first night that God left her and didn't come back when she wanted him there because her parents wouldn't let her be a part of the revolution. As her life went on she obviously got farther and farther away from him. At one point she became a drug dealer which is the farthest in my mind as you can get from God, compared to the way she acted when she was younger. This is a major changing point in her life in my mind because that is as low as she got. She realized that she wasn't getting anywhere because of it and changed her life afterwards.
