The Instructions Were Missing

(6)

me: May I speculate concerning the name of the angel who headed up the design group?
god: You may.
me: Lucifer?
god: Exactly.
me: If I were to summarize the circumstances of the creation of the universe more or less succinctly...
god: And you will...
me: ...would I be correct in suggesting that you farmed out the creation of the universe to the devil?
god: You would.
me: That explains a lot.
me: I am curious. After you banished the Lucifer group to the realm of Nature did you take complete control of the universe?
god: Not exactly. Most of it was beyond my control. The instructions were missing. I only controlled Heaven absolutely. My control of the earth was limited to suggestion.
me: What do you mean by 'suggestion?'
god: I could occasionally tap into the brain of a succeptible person and dictate my word.
me: And you dictated the very old and odius testament.
god: That is your characterization, not mine.
