So I was very intellectually stimulated in philosophy class. :'D
God created the heavens and the earth.
On day four, he decided to create AWESOME KILLING MACHINES of POWER.
However, these awesome killing machines of power did not much else aside from eating plants, and each other. They did not attempt to create meaning and sense from the world, and very soon, God grew to find that the awesome killing machines were not so awesome. So he pressed the 'delete' button; those that he found were interesting or anomalies, he put in his 'archives'.
Next, he decided to start anew with fuzzy things. Cuter things. These things made interesting noises, groomed each other, and were much improved upon the killing machines. Brains over muscle, that is. Much smaller things. It gave God much sense of accomplishment to see his creation faring so well, so he decided to upgrade them. Now, these things were less fuzzy, less cute, as upgrades are wont to make things, but quite a bit more intelligent and did much more interesting things. They differed much from another. They were also quite delusional, and that delighted him.
One day, God decided that it was time for his creation to revel in his full glory. He selected a few people to meet with him, sane people, mind, to conduct an interview. Once these people finished their interview, he thought, the world would pay its due respect to its maker. ("Who's your daddy?")
Things...didn't go as God planned. Some of these people were condemned for being raving lunatics, and thus sentenced to death. (This God found quite cutely disturbing-delusional people ridding themselves of the less delusional.) God finally understood that humans needed to exist in a state of constant delusion, as their cranial matter proved too little to handle the full realities of the world. A slight glitch in the programming, one could say. Hell, they still thought that fish were for eating...
Things did go well, however, in the sense that the puny mortals decided to search for Truth, Beauty, and more Bang for the Buck. Only the last would the found amongst them, but God still gave them credit for trying.
Finally, God did decide to grant Truth and Beauty to some of the human population, but they went and created America's Next Top Model.
The experience was beginning to grow frustrating.
