update!

I now have written 8,076 words. I have also added a huge twist. I still have 50,000 words to write. If I keep writing a little bit here and there like I am than maybe I can go somewhere.

god screwed up

God screwed up. If he was careful there wouldn't be the huge mess there is. God could have avoided a whole bunch of turmoil. Pretend you are God for a second.
You are eternal, omnipotent God. For the past boring eternity, You have been sitting around in darkness twiddling Your thumbs wondering what the hell You are supposed to be doing and pondering where You came from and what Your purpose is and why You look like an angry old white man. Suddenly, You are hit with the desire to do something. Instead of Creating Heaven, a place where You will live in bliss forever. You create angels to be Your helpers (even though You are God and really don’t need any help). You endow them with free will. One of these angels, Lucifer, is creating a big stink among the angels, trying to get them to rebel against You. Instead of Zapping Lucifer so he does good or into nonexistence. You create Hell, a place of indescribable torment to which You will condemn Lucifer forever. You create Hell, and oh, what a masterpiece it is! It contains pits of sulfur and fire, skulls, piles of maggot-infested excrement, and trillions of televisions which show nothing but Richard Simmons’ “Sweatin’ to the Oldies.” Instead of sending Lucifer to Hell immediately You allow Lucifer to hang around, spreading his rebelliousness until Judgement Day when You will condemn him and all those whom he sways to follow him to eternal torment.

You create earth and living creatures to inhabit it. Earth is a perfect paradise. You see that everything is good, but Your crowning achievement is the humans, whom You created in Your very own image.
You create the Garden of Eden for the first humans, Adam and Eve, and place a tree in it called the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. You command them not to eat of this tree, or else You will send them and all of their descendants to Hell.
Meanwhile, Lucifer possesses the body of one of the snakes that You created, and slithers up the tree. He tempts Eve to eat the fruit. The naïve Eve, seeing that the fruit You had created on the tree is good for eating, as well as good for gaining knowledge, eats the fruit and shares it with her husband. You know that they have eaten the forbidden fruit, so You confront the sinful humans, saying, “Why have you eaten of the tree when I commanded you not to?” to which Adam replies, “That’s just like you! Always making arbitrary rules just so you can feel powerful!” You are naturally angered by the humans’ impudence. Instead of forgiving the humans unconditionally and zap the evil Lucifer into nonexistence. You Condemn the humans and their descendants to a life of pain and hardship, as well as an eternity in Hell after death, and allow Lucifer to go free until Judgement Day.

You inflict Your punishment on the evil humans and their evil offspring. All humans must suffer through hard labor, disease, and death. After a couple thousand years, You have pity on the humans and decide to give them a chance to redeem themselves. Instead of forgiving the humans unconditionally and put an end to their suffering. You send Your son Jesus Christ to be born in Bethlehem to a virgin named Mary. Instead of forgiving man and put an end to his suffering by restoring the universe to its original perfection. You allow Lucifer and the humans to kill Your son through the painful process of crucifixion.

The body of Your slain son is miraculously resurrected. Instead of immediately eliminating all suffering by restoring Your creation to perfection. You allow only those who believe that Jesus is Your son and that he was resurrected to join You in Heaven. You condemn the rest to Hell.

After a couple more millenia, it seems as if some of the humans are having difficulty believing You exist, let alone that Jesus is Your son and was resurrected. The problem seems to be that You have not interacted with humans in any tangible way for quite a few centuries and that all the information humans receive about You comes from a collection of ancient and contradictory manuscripts written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and Latin. The humans seem to disagree about how these manuscripts should be interpreted, and this has led to much dispute and even violence.
Another problem is that not everyone has heard of You and Your son, due to geographic and cultural isolation. What can be done about this? Instead of endowing every human with a perfect knowledge of You and Your son. You allow a bunch of ignorant humans who claim to be Your spokespersons to continue interpreting Your will according to these obscure manuscripts. Allow their numerous absurd and contradictory doctrines to be taught by ignorant humans to other ignorant humans without correction.

Time passes and Judgement Day finally comes. In the end, You find that only a handful of the humans have met Your standards for entering Heaven. Lucifer has succeeded in converting billions to his evil cause. Instead of Snapping Your fingers and make everything perfect again.
You carry out the ordained punishment. You condemn Lucifer and all of his infidels to eternity in Hell. The few humans who have met Your divine standards join You in Heaven to enjoy eternal bliss.
While in Heaven, Your Omniscience hears the screams of the tormented souls in Hell. Instead of making everything right again by letting everyone out of Hell and restoring them to perfection and goodness you just sit dwindling your thumbs again.
It is next to impossible for an omnipotent God to completely screw things up, but You did. Your actions are matched in absurdity only by the actions of the Christian God Yahweh. You may continue to enjoy the pleasures and happiness of Heaven, while the ignorant humans burn in the Hell You created for them, or You may make everything right again at any time.
As sovereign Lord of the Universe, you can do what you wish. Just remember: as omnipotent caretaker of eternity, you are solely responsible for the suffering and evil which any of your creation suffer. Any God who doesn’t fix the problems he allowed to occur is a deadbeat. Either God does not exist, or he is not worthy of our worship.

Progress…..

I have written 7,075 words so far. I hope this actually gets somewhere.
