GOD said, WHAT ?

One of my conversations with God.

 

 

 

GOD said, WHAT?? A Story by Rain

..

" I'm trying to talk with God, and he sends me this mist like figure ? I suppose I'm supposed to talk with you,? I asked, frustrated.

"He said He's tired of messing with you", the voice said.

"Tired of messing with me? He's God, I shouted. That's what Gods are supposed to do."
"And where does he get off calling it , Messing with me?"

"Look, I'm just telling you what HE said." The voice spoke.

"HE said the word "Messing?" I asked

"That's what HE said. HE said you were getting on his nerves,and that HE had more important things to deal with", the voice said,sounding disinterested.

I lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, then said in an angry voice.
"Oh, so just because HE'S God, HE can just pick and choose who HE talks to?"

"That appears to be how HE sees it", the voice said casually.

" Well,I think it's crap." HE created us, HE gave us all these damn unanswerable questions, and then when you demand to know why, HE can just say HE doesn't feel like messing with you!  "That's some God," I said, as I flipped my cigarette towards the heavens.
"Well, tell God....." the voice stopped me.

"I" don't TELL God anything. I only pass on what you say."

"I thought God was supposed to know everything. Why do you even have to be here?" I said,knowing he had no answer.

The voice seemed to giggle.

"What's so funny," I asked.

"God just said you were dumber than a dinosaur", then the voice busted out laughing.

Angry, I picked up a rock and tossed it into the sky.
"Tell God......Ooops, relay to God that HE made me, so if I'm dumb, HE'S the one to blame," I said, feeling I got my shot in.

The voice was silent.

"What's the matter God, stumped?" I grinned.

Finally, the voice spoke. " Sorry,God was busy trying to re-arrange this black hole to a better location."

"What?" He's got one of his children here, and He's playing with a black hole? What about my question? If I'm dumb, HE made me this way!"

The voice, which came from this odd shaped mist, spoke...

"God said for me to try and shoo you away."

"NO, I shouted. I think I deserve to know." If HE wants me to know all these things, why didn't HE  make me smarter? Just ask him that, and say... Please."

The odd shaped mist seemed to draw a bit closer, as if he was going to whisper something, then withdrew. Then he spoke... 
"God said for me to keep this simple, as it was obvious you had a limited comprehension level."

"Well, yippie, tell him I appreciate HIM  finally answering a simple question."

"God said you were born brilliant, with the wisdom and comprehension of your creator. As a child you possessed all the knowledge HE  had intended you to have, more wisdom than you would ever need."

"Ok, then what the hell happened?" I asked, hoping GOD had forgotten  about the black hole and was focusing on me.

God says that man left the childlike wisdom, and began to believe he could dissect His gift of life. They wrote books and gathered in small intellectual groups; they developed complex theories to His simplest mysteries, they wrote and challenged, until at last, the true wisdom they had, gave way to false philosophies, and gave birth to fake scholars.Wisdom became something people would try to teach, till the world became filled with those who thought they knew His gift, who knew Him.
I could tell the voice was not quite done.
God told me to tell you to beware of people who say they know,and keep their knowledge on shelves that can't be reached. The voice was done.

"That's it?" I asked, not sure I totally understood.

"There was one other thing, but I think you might want to stop here," the voice said, politely.

"Hey," I said in a stern voice, if GOD said something else, I want to know."

The voice hesitated a minute,then said, " Ok."
"God said he had a plaque waiting for you."

"NO WAY!!! I excitedly shouted, What does it say ?"
"Child with the most dumb questions." He laughed,

"Oh, that's cute God.."That's really cute."

I really liked the concept of this and the technique you used to deliver it to us.
Any chance this messenger left a contact number? haha

No straight answers, huh? Figures.
Glad he didn't drop the black hole on your narrator though...could have been worse.

Thanks for sharing this Rain. Amusing and thoughtful read.

[R J Askew]

Arf, arf, great humour with some pearls of wisdom woven into it. I enjoyed this very much at the end of trying day at work. I like the human talking to god, even via some kind of bell boy. The idea of flicking cigarettes and rocks godwards and then blaming god for not making you smarter is wonderfully funny.

[Dezaraye]

I remember this piece well. I love it, Ray. Sometimes, I feel like this and sometimes I think that God has to get sick of me. It's fun to see a humorous side and I like the way you wrote this. I could see it taking place.

[Jane Doe]

Wonderful piece. I love the dialog between the two characters. It makes some very powerful points about our relationship with God and wisdom. Great write!

[Robert Luna]

I loved this. There is so much wisdom here that is being overlooked by most i believe. We seek for answers that we really don't need to know yet that is why we don't. We learn more as our lives and time goes on. The true answer will be discovered in due time. Stop worrying so much about the question and start living your life the best that you can. Your words ring to the heaven within me my friend.


Great Job!!!!!!

[Angela]

This is great!! Wish I could have a similar conversation with the almighty one. There are a few unanswered questions I have of my own. I loved the humor, and the nonchalant attitude of the angel sent to "deal" with him. Great work!

[Carole]

No-No! This WRITE is cute. You have got to be one of God's most originals, Rain. :-) Only you would think of something like this. I love the conversational tone through out. Again, very original! Exceptionally well done!

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Rain .. i like this conversation .. it is humorous and like a conversation between just you and a regular person not an Angel or God, just like us ...
I like to think God has sense of humor ...i know he does and so do you lol ..
"that's cute God, really cute' LOL good one

[shadadakiya]

lol that was awsome rain i love it,so cute and funny great work,thanks made me laugh all the way threw it

[Jayne Ann Saporito]

Well, Rain, this shows me that God does not know every answer, either! love the last part, child with most dumb questions -- brilliant! That got me going. I've had lots of conversations with God and even threw rocks at Him, but never a talk like this!

[Kelly D. Burris]

Rain, that was so funny. I think a lot of people can relate to the situation and the humor in this piece. I agree with M_S_Lay ,in that I could definitely hear Jesse Duplantis sharing this one!

God told me to tell you to beware of people who say they know,and keep their knowledge on shelves that can't be reached.
The best part in my observation....!
Thanks for sharing,
Kelly
