God and LogicA Story by JoeA short little rant-type-thing I came up with. God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, the Alpha and
the Omega, was up in His House, rotting in His Throne. The long battle was over
and He had lost to His counterpoint: Logic, otherwise known as Satan, otherwise
known as the Antichrist. Monikers and aliases can be argued for all eternity,
but the fact remains: God lost his ruling role and Logic had taken up the
mantle. And what changed? Nothing. Adults still went to work, children still
went to school, and the devout still worshipped God, even though He had croaked
and was now stinking up behind the Pearly Gates. Of course, it might not be fair to say that nothing changed; after all, the ruler of
the universe was now dead and rotting like road kill. But only one thing had
changed after God had lost the battle with Logic, and it was unnoticed by any
of the living beings in the universe, so it could hardly be said to matter,
mortally speaking. The change was caused by God Himself when He took his last
breath: the universe had acquired an expiration date. Some time, some when,
somewhere, the universe would spoil completely. When God keeled over for Logic existence
began to go sour. When would everything turn like a gallon of milk out of
its prime? It doesn’t matter. What? How can the date of the end of everything
not matter? Because it will not occur in anyone’s lifetime. No one will be
around to sit back, crack open a beer, and countdown to the Grand Finale. The
planets, stars, suns, moons, and everything that lies within them will be long
gone. Supernovas and war and disease and famine will take care of all of that
quite awhile before the curtains fall. That is why it doesn’t matter when the
universe will go kaput and why the change that occurred when Logic took God’s
place is so insignificant. You see, with God living or with God decaying like
some corpse in the ground, existence will go on and on until it eventually
wipes itself out. This is how Logic won, my friends, by simply telling this
to God: “Look, old man, you put the whirligig into motion and now you’ve got
nothing to do but sit back and watch it go and go until it slows itself down
and quits. You can pack it up and take a hike. Your duty’s been done for a long
time now.” God’s response? He shook hands with Logic and died with a smile on His
face. Why? Well, how would you feel if you were told you could quit watching over
a bunch of unruly brats? © 2010 Joe |
