Chuck asked us to write about Gods/Goddesses. I couldn't get to the computer last night - due to a few thunderstorms hanging around Brisbane City - so today, I had a good think over breakfast. I thought the Almighty would be a good person to write about. And he's pissed!
enjoy.
To the Human Race on Earth,
You know, being the Almighty isn’t what it’s
cracked up to be. I have created a series of planets around the universe for
you all to live on at some time – and you’re only just discovering their existence
now?
Exactly what have you been doing?
Besides fighting amongst yourselves, killing
off some of my favourite creatures (yes, the unicorn was a brilliant stroke of
genius, but you just had to have things your way! And the dragon as well –
trust you lot to hate something that could actually help you win a war from the
air!) and you are systematically killing each other off as well with this thing
I thought you’d love: technology.
You’re getting fatter, lazier, becoming
bigger arseholes than I ever thought was possible and me forbid any of you ever
have an original thought!
And don’t get me started on what happens to
the good people on your puny, fucked-up planet I used to consider a Paradise.
I’ve seen some pure-hearted people actually
go to the trouble of changing themselves for the better over a long period of
time, only to have people step on them, treat them as though they’re nothing
and call them all kinds of names and beat them up – mentally and physically.
This has got to stop!
After all I am your God and whether you like
it or not, I can pull the whole damned pin on your existence and let Lucifer
run the show for a while if you want... yes, he does exist and he almost took
over what you think is Hell on Earth. If
you don’t believe me: read your Bible and find out what he was going to do to
your home you all are so big on screwing over.
In case you’re wondering where I’ll be while
you’re all screaming for my help? I’ll be off across the universe on a new
planet I’ve been working on – a new project – that’s bigger, better and much
more advanced than you squawking little rejects I made the mistake of handing
over the controls to.
Oh... oh... you’re demanding an explanation
of why I’m so mad.
Demanding – how dare you demand anything
from me after I gave you everything you’d ever need to live where you are now.
I gave you life.
I gave you a place to live.
I gave you day and night.
I gave you water and food.
I gave you all you ever needed to survive.
Why couldn’t you just be happy to do that?
If you needed anything, all you needed to do
was pray to me and I’d help you with it. I’d help you with your farming, your
animals. I set up the seasons and which animals were best to eat... all you had
to do was enjoy your life.
But of course, you wanted so much more – you
became greedy!
I even sent my son to set things straight.
But you lot crucified him! You destroyed a
man who was gentle, who didn’t wish for anything but peace and love and harmony
amongst all men.
So, why should I save any of you and yours
when your planet is so close to destruction? Why should I cry tears of compassion
when you are all just in this for yourselves, for the bottom line... for the
almighty dollar, for how much you can get into your pockets, for the biggest
house, the most expensive car, the biggest television, loudest stereo system,
for how many women you’ve bedded, how many tattoos you have, the most amount of
land you own...
...need I go on?
You all have violated one of the Seven Deadly
Sins and none of you can see you’re all Gluttons for wealth, for everything
around you that’s shiny and pretty so you can fill your houses with more and
more crap and not even think that when you die, your grave is going to be
exactly the same size as the poor man you wouldn’t give a dollar to the week
before.
You’ll just have more things to get rid
of... that your family doesn’t want... and you don’t see how much this has destroyed
my trust in you all: my children.
You don’t remember that do you?
You are all my children – every one of you –
from the very beginning of time when I created the oceans, the light and dark,
the day and night and the animals, the trees, the fish... I still called you my
children.
And like any parent, I still love you all
very much.
But you have disappointed me so in the past
two thousand years – and well beyond that as well – and you don’t see how much
you have.
I have deployed my finest Archangels onto
your Earth to work with a few of you; but many of you have lost faith in who I
am, so you have ignored their signals. There have been only a few of you who
have taken notice, whose minds were open enough to realise they were being
touched, talked to and tethered to an Angel – but when they told somebody, they
were told they were ‘crazy’ or ‘nuts’ or they have ‘an over-active imagination’.
This is really sad to hear from you all.
My chosen few of followers are quietly-spoken
people who now go out and do good for people they have never met. They are
people who do the charity work and never expect anything in return. They are
the people who live on extremely frugal budgets, have no full-time employment
and can barely get by; and yet they give everything away to those who have even
less than they do – simply because they have a roof over their own head,
clothes on their backs and food in their fridges – and there are people who are
living worse off than they are.
And these are the people I’m looking at.
These are the people I am staying on this
Earth for.
These are the people who have given me the
faith to stick around and see how this place will turn out.
These are the people who are not into
politics, don’t like fads, they barely trust anyone and yet, they get along
with everyone around them, are kind to all kinds and will help anyone no matter
who they are.
These are the people who received regular death
threats, are bullied every day, pushed around, treated like crap and are told
to pull their heads in all the time by other people around them.
These are the Human Beings who will be
changing the world.
Not the loud, rude, crude politicians or the
racist people who think that indigenous people have no rights, nor the people
who think that women have no rights to do what they wish with their bodies. Or
that animals have feelings too (which they do, but most are there to be eaten –
that’s why I created them for you. In the beginning, I created cows, pigs and
basic livestock to eat, not to keep as pets).
So, as I’ve been watching from way up here
in the Higher Choirs of Heaven, I have received report after report of my
Paradise heading towards what you all have coined ‘Apocalypse’.
Only I pull the switch for one of those –
and have done that more than twice in this planet’s long, long life. I call it ‘the
reset button’ because it’s something I thought was called for.
This time, you are the cause of the planet’s
problems.
You took the technology I thought you were
ready for – and clearly you weren’t – and took it in a totally different
direction. You all did something horrible with it.
I’m so terribly disappointed in you all.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves for
your actions.
I will not help you any longer.
Your prayers will go unanswered.
The Angels who are tethered to the Humans
will remain to help only those Humans and none other – once you get rid of
those Humans, both the Angels and the Human come home to me.
By the time you all realise what you have
done, Lucifer will have taken over your planet.
You want a wrathful God?
You have one.
