For whom the God that failed

There are reasons for you to laugh and there are reasons for you to breathe a sigh. There is never an ideal moment so take hold of chance. Opportunities only knock at heaven’s door and you better be sure of it.

There are Gods, devotees, intermittent players and then we have atheists. Above all, we have almighty who gets the score rolling. Start throwing stones and you will surely pile enough.
As a famous saying goes; God gives and forgives, man takes and forgets. The almighty sets the precedence and God calls the shots. Devotees are executers and sometimes (only) fill the mere numbers. We need to know that we have dynamic Gods who have messengers who govern the entire system. Just as large and bureaucratic organisations.

For a moment, let us think of this system as the one that exists in the corporations. We have executives, leaders, followers and then oppressors. Corporations call them Bad and Good Apples. A similar system exists in the society.

Almighty nominates God who calls the shots and destroy opponents. In corporations, leaders nominates God (whom we call leader) who picks up favourable devotees and messengers to form a team. Atheists and intermittent players exist only to add spice to the team and/or will execute tougher decisions made by the God in the name of risk.

Devotees often gets the best share of everything. Devotees sometimes act as messenger to God resulting in conflicts with actual messengers. God settles scores with both of them. God lays down a drawing to all his devotees and messengers to keep the atheists in check. Often times, these devotees and messengers cook up imaginary stories to please God. God then bestows them with awards and recognition. In all of these, atheists and intermittent players take the beating and often fall as puppets to the lead players. Devotees and messengers are considered Good Apples whilst atheists and intermittent players take the role of the Bad. So to speak, imagination has no boundary.

Large organisations or corporations often present the world with these surprises. They are no longer taken by surprise and are accepted as postulates. Similar line of practise exists in the civilian society.

Let me take an example of a large organisation which once consisted of a loathsome God, devotees, messengers and atheists. This was called a team with justified balance of each fist-fighting each other for survival. Not so surprisingly, God called the shots, devotees and messengers were bestowed and atheist left the organisation fiercely burnt and cheated. There came a day when devotees looked after their needs and moved away. Messengers become less and less effective and their messages no longer brought surprise or entertainment. Messengers were thus asked to leave and thanked for their dedicated services.

Then came a day that everyone was waiting. God left his temple of the doom in an unceremonious manner. Someone who could smell the symptom of the universe kicked the bucket and God looked impassively. By the end of time, God had lost all his mettle and defiance. People around the world watched God’s exit with jubilance. There was sense of celebration as God was cornered by the most pressing fashion. God lived his glory and society learnt the lesson the hard way. God will no longer pose that threat he once posed. It was a moment of intense satisfaction to see God exit in a nimble fashion who once left the ultimate taste of bitterness.

Some devotees and messengers also turned out to play safe or atheists came out to celebrate this moment. There was no end to it.

 God started his dominant administration years ago. With the blessing of almighty, God recruited devotees and messengers over the years. Some atheists were trapped from other temples and some were forcibly dragged in with purpose. Months passed and God’s team was in full attendance. The team had a fairly balanced mixture of devotees, messengers, atheists and intermittent players. God started his authoritarian and totalitarian rule over his people which soon turned out to be a temple of the doom. Some even called it as temple for the damned.

God never spared anyone. Even the God of other faith was not spared. God ridiculed everyone who came in his way. There was nothing stopping God from his atrocities which soon turned into pit of hell. God’s ruling thus became a fascist model with pseudo roles created to achieve his autocracy. 
Even other super-powers looked impassive at one moment. Just like an old saying, my enemy’s enemy is my best friend; all his rivals teamed up to get rid of the God. Almighty saved the day for God and his ruling was temporarily held back to reflect the new way of thinking.

God returned to his past glory following the utter defeat of atheists and similar minds. Sense of peace was shattered within his team, several atheists and intermittent players were tortured and forced to leave the temple. Those who resisted were subjected to intense wanton infliction who were either forced to leave or accept defeat. God then declared his temple as the temple of the king. Just like the state of Hiroshima in WW-II; the after-effects remained even to this date, several atheists still feel the bad taste even to this date.

Over the years, God’s ruling reached the pinnacle of incompetence. Several others noted the incompetency of his beloved devotees and messengers. Outsiders made efforts to slay them off the temple thus resulting in de-strengthening God’s powers. Some turned to the light of day. Some did not even reached that far. All the competent atheists left his temple expecting the remaining thugs to be damned.

Years passed and no solution was found. In the aftermath of outside advocacy, certain people in the temple were targeted. Even the bigwigs could not break the armour of God. Messengers kept smelling the bad spirit and gave much-needed clues to God to slay the people off. Just as a saying goes; every damn thing has to end one day; God lost some of his key players to the open-universe and in Blue sky.

The bygone effect was long felt and his atheists were far from his vicious intentions. Several devotees mended their ways for better lives. One of his messenger who was initially tortured out of suspicion later was promoted to a devotee and then awarded him with a ‘warpig’ label. This warpig later turned to be a brutal force of madness. This warpig kept his own devotees who later left his path as they were unable to bear his torture.

There came a time when almighty, God and warpig left to run their forceless kingdom. It was about time when God was made defenseless and stripped off with all his powers. Warpig was silently watching all of this in the background hoping to claim the diadem if comes a day when God is slayed off. Warpig had developed a secret route to almighty when God had other distractions. At times, warpig turned smarter than God and God had to use his brute force to stop his march.

The day finally came which everyone was so desperately waiting for. To add more spice to the story, some former atheists were even willing to behead God if found outside the temple. Fortunately or unfortunately, it did not happen. Some unexpected forces kicked God out of his temple of the doom.
God was impassive and was kicked out in an unceremonious manner. The news reached all his former-opponents and atheists in lightning pace. Some took to streets to celebrate this much-anticipated moment. It was glory justified for some and rest took it with pinch of salt.

It also took some devotees by shock and equally surprise. Even though his devotees did not actively come out in public to express their view, it was noted that they took the news with caution.
Few atheists called one-another and wished each-other. All the bad things once made as mandate came to an end. There is no structure of almighty, God, devotees, messengers and atheists that exists in his former guise today. But this is still an active practise in large organisations, corporations and the typical societal structures.

In the meantime, warpig approached the almighty to claim the crown. Whilst some have already left the playground, others are still watching how games turned out in its final stages. The flier even said of God reaching to his lost souls for solace. Who knows! He might have got what he wanted.

The madness is certainly over.

While people took to task actively to destroy the final remains of his temple of doom, his former devotees and messengers might be heading towards the grave for last rites.
I hope to have given a reasonable end to this fictitious yet comforting tale around the daily state of affairs surrounding such maniacs in day-to-day world.

As the saying goes; those who won are lost and lost are perished, God is now gone and blown with the wind.
