Hellish Creation

[Guest guest]

The Bible tells us that in the beginning God created

heaven and earth, but doesn't say if he created

hell. This omission looks suspicious. It requires an

expose. We need an insider, to blow the whistle, and

spill the beans. Since God declined my request for

an interview (He has become sort of a recluse, a la

Howard Hughes) I had to contact the devil ( who loves

to talk, and tell tall tales) and he consented to a 60

minutes interview.

 

So here it is, an exclusive interview, just for nondual

groups:

 

Reporter: Your Highness, what can you tell us about

the creation of hell?

 

Satan: God created it, of course. He created

everything.

 

R: Didn't you have a part in that creation?

 

S: Sure, I was consulted. We discussed the plan in

detail. He said:

Luci, what do you think if we create a place of

eternal punishment?

 

S: Cool! But why eternal? Wouldn't that be boring?

We would get used to it. Anything constant and

eternal gets eternally boring. Look at Heaven, isn't

it sort of boring?

 

G: Yes, being eternal really sucks! Don't you think?

 

S: Amen to that!

 

G: So here is an idea: Hell will have both random

pleasure and torment, and in that way it will never be

boring.

 

S: You're a genius! So who are we going to torment?

 

G: Ourselves, of course, who else is there?

 

S: Are you nuts?

 

G: Obviously, why would I be talking to myself

otherwise?

 

S: You are not talking to yourself, you're talking

to me!

 

G: Wanna bet? Anyway, I could split into billions of

souls who wouldn't know they are me, and we could

torment those. Doesn't that sounds like fun?

 

S: I guess... but if you give these souls perfect

memory, they will eventually get bore with hell too.

 

G: You are right! I'll make them forgetful, I'll make

them mortal and in fear of death, I'll give them

pleasure, joy, suffering and pain. That way the

torment will always feel fresh.

 

S: Devilish! Hey! don't even call it hell, call it, Earth.

 

G: And so it shall be done!

 

Reporter: Thank you, Your Highness, that was most

illuminating!

 

S: Not really! No one will believe a word I said.
