Various Heresies 12

Various Heresies 12 God Had a Plan by Michael R. Burch God had a plan though it was hardly “divine.” He created a terror: Frankenstein. He blamed death on man: was that part of the plan so hard to define, or did he just cut his losses? Now sleepless he tosses hearing the screams, the wild anger and fear of men in despair. "Just disappear!," he cries to himself on his fearful bed, tearful, afraid of those he misled. Ah-men! The Final Revelation of a Departed God’s Divine Plan by Michael R. Burch Here I am, talking to myself again . . . pissed off at God and bored with humanity. These insectile mortals keep testing my sanity! Still, I remember when . . . planting odd notions, dark inklings of vanity, in their peapod heads might elicit an inanity worth a chuckle or two. Philosophers, poets . . . how they all made me laugh! The things they dreamed up! Sly Odysseus’s raft; Plato’s Republic; Dante’s strange crew; Shakespeare’s Othello, mad Hamlet, Macbeth; Cervantes’ Quixote; fat, funny Falstaff!; Blake’s shimmering visions. Those days, though, are through . . . for, puling and tedious, their “poets” now seem content to write, but not to dream, and they fill the world with their pale derision of things they completely fail to understand. Now, since God has long fled, I am here, in command, reading this crap. Earth is Hell. We’re all damned.
