Some People Never Let Up, Do They?
Hi everyone, sorry its been a while but you must've seen the news so you know how busy I have been. Also I got really angry after that business in New Orleans, all those preacher types laying it on me and suggesting I was punishing the city of New Orleans for its sins. What effing sins? They were just people who had been given a tough deal in life and so they tried to make things more bearable by having a little fun when they could. And they made great food and great music and they laughed a lot. They were just being human beings.
So the people who suffered in the flood had done nothing to make me angry, but the people who tried to suggest that I sent the hurricane certainly did. When they started up all that pseudo - righteous nonsense I was furious. Anyway Mrs. God said "just count to ten dear, it will help you calm down." She always gives good advice, Mrs. God. I don't know what I would do without her. I am still not in the best of moods, but the urge to smite anyone who tries to use my name for their own advantage has passed.
Now you might be thinking that the hurricane caused catastrophe on a Biblical scale so I must be involved. If that is so you must pay closer attention because I have been trying to explain that The Bible, or The Big Black Book of evil lies as we call it here in my Kingdom, is nothing to do with me. Preachers wrote all that superstitious nonsense, but preachers never take responsibility for anything so they blame me for famine, flood, war and plague.
Let me try and make things more clear. I don't intervene in what happens on earth. I don't make hurricanes or earthquakes. Did none of you read the bumper sticker I inspired back in the 1980. It said "shit happens." Sorry but that is just the way things are. No matter how many people are on their knees kissing my arse 24/7 shit will still happen. My job is to help you understand that shit happens simply because that's the way things are. All you can do is find a way to cope. For that reason I don't mind people blaming me when they are up to their necks in raw sewage. But when preachers start using my name in their scams to get more power and money for themselves, that is well out of order.
Try to think of the world as a big machine; like the engine in your car only a lot bigger. Now in a car engine everything has to be set up in perfect balance for it to run smoothly. If things get out of balance and are not fixed quickly you are looking at a big repair bill. And that is the situation in the world right now. Your cars and your industrial processes polluted the atmosphere, you drained the wetlands, cut down the rain forest, you churn up the peat bogs of the arctic tundra looking for mineral resources. Altogether you have dumped on yourselves. AND IT IS NOT MY JOB TO CLEAR UP YOUR MESS. Do not listen to preachers. If you start ignoring them right now and concentrate on doing what needs to be done you might just turn things round although it will be close. Ignore me and listen to them and in a few decades the last half million years since the first ape like creature learned to make axes from stone will have been for nothing. Geddit?
