God Rested

God Rested

A Story by Mark George
"

My theory is that Adam pissed God off from the start. I'm not even talking fruit of the forbidden tree...that was just the last straw.

GOD RESTED

 

ADAM: God, you’re the creator of everything, the earth, sun, sky, plants, animals, the whole enchilada, including me and Eve, right?

GOD: Yes, what about it?

ADAM: And you are omnipotent and all-knowing…right?

GOD: What’s this all about, Adam?

ADAM: Okay, right there. You should know the answer to that question, shouldn’t you? Being all-knowing…omniscient.

GOD: But…

ADAM: Anyway, what I really wanted to ask is why you needed to rest on the seventh day…you being omnipotent and all?

GOD: (laughs) I was tired. Is that so hard to figure out?

ADAM: But wouldn’t your need for rest imply that you are not omnipotent? Omnipotence means all-powerful, having unlimited energy. If you have unlimited energy, why would you need to rest?

GOD: I think Eve needs your help in the Garden.

ADAM: You’re gonna duck that one, huh? Now let’s take what you just said about how you think Eve needs my help in the Garden. Do you think Eve needs my help or do you know she needs my help? Shouldn’t you already know stuff like that? 

GOD: (with booming loud voice) I KNOW EVE NEEDS YOUR HELP IN THE GARDEN!!!!!

ADAM: Got it. Sorry…no disrespect.

GOD: None taken. Now Adam, please be careful in the Garden. Remember what I told you about not eating fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.

ADAM: Now you’re scaring me.  Is there something  you’re not telling me, being all-knowing as you are?

GOD: GO NOW!

ADAM: Okay okay…just chill out a little.

GOD: …
