Seems ta'me, as if'n ya learnd yer dielect frum som moovee or sumptin. Gadam uppity urpeans ahwaz thinkun dae be knowen better'n utter peepholes! No one sez "ah" cept Curly in "Oklahoma" (the movie not the state).
A very nice re-rendering of the conversion of Paul/Saul (of course he was still pretty much an asshole afterwards, just in a different direction).
Jes fer hizstorcal aucuracy Lucy-fer was only menchened once en de old testeemint, Eye-sayah refrenced a Baby-lone-kneeian king as such. Doncha know?
The "American God" (as is mentioned in the title) is generally understood to be a Calvinists God. This does not mean it actually is, or that there is even an American God, but generally when God is used in such things as the 'pledge of allegiance', and on the money 'in God we trust', it is the Calvinists God that most people think of, not a generic any-god that would be all inclusive. So I think it is a valid reference.
All in all a good tale with which I generally have no problems, except your handling of the dialect, which is about on par with Dick Van Dyke's cockney accent in Mary Poppins.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
