Paradise Misplaced

So Adam said to God:
Listen, I'm sorry mate. We didn't expect things to get so out of hand. We never even seen all this evil before. Eden so perfect and everything. I mean when you made New Zealand you never made any predators, so I could lead a kiwi straight in to a den of tigers and they would realise what would happen to them and the kiwi would get eaten cause it's fat and blind and it can't fly. It's kind of like that. Do you know what I mean? Of course you do. Now I realise all the things like hunger and pain and tiredness and boredom and, well, it really sucks.


Obviously you knew everything that was going to happen all along, 'cause you're immense. So you knew we'd eat from that tree, isn't that why you put it there? Or did you put it there? Anyway, that tree was always there, so things weren't always perfect were they? Wow, that's pretty, like, cosmic to think about.

Anyway, what I don't get is, why do our kids have to suffer for this? I mean it's just a point but me and Eve are a bit, like, miffed about that bit, no offense. Cain has been a bit off lately and Abel's working his socks off. If we're expecting an expansion of the human race here -which by the way is something I really need to talk to you about later- then, well, you know, there's only so much guilt I can take. There gonna have to pay for TV licenses and queue at the post office and clean up dog shit all because of this. I mean, I think I got the point.

You know, if people are going to believe in you. Not that I doubt your believability or anything, you're completely believable. I mean, as invisible omniscient forces go, you're definitely one of the most believable. But, this whole original sin/unjust world thing is a bit of damper, let's be honest. And for some reason people are going to point out that there's bad in the world as if all the religious folk didn't know that already and some thickos are going to say 'hey, he's right' and there'll be mass conversion to atheism. For some reason I think this will happen. I also get a feeling that people might get all woried about the fact that suffering exists and start making up there own theories. Like 'why was the tree there in the first place?' and a lot of people are gonna forget the point that suffering exists no matter what people try to do about it.

At the end of the day, I admit we really screwed up here and we're sorry about that, just.... don't get in a knot about it alright?

Anyway, like I said, just a point.
Keep me posted.
See ya.
