story intro moved to another thread
is this intro any better:
"Yes, we resolved the deadlock." The Congressman had good news and bad news for the White House. "But to settle foreign debts, we agreed to sell Hawaii to China, void annexation, your citizenship and presidency. In exchange for over 12 million undocumented immigrants becoming legal residents there. Welcome to your new homeland."
by emilynghiemFor once in eternity,
God didn't know what to do, although he was omniscient.
And knew it. Or thought so. He wasn't sure. If he knew all things in heaven and hell, which was a hell of a lot more than heaven alone,
he'd instantly know in advance how to respond in the future.
But he didn't. Nothing made sense anymore.The chances of humans' outsmarting God were lower than a snowball's chance in hell, or heaven and hell combined, whichever was worse. How could they set him up behind his back, in front of his face? Only God could achieve the impossible, so this must be his will, since it was clearly impossible. He was stunned. This made no sense, and he knew it. Or thought he did. Aarrgghh!
Never mind, he assured himself, it's some trick of the Devil he allowed.
Then made himself forget, since he was omnipotent.
Only God could make himself forget that he forgot something, right?
Just forget it, he thought.God tore through his files, searching. For deliberately random scribbles, or any clue why he might plan to forget whatever plans he forgot. There must be some note reminding him, but since he could not remember where he forgot he wrote it down, surely he planned all that! How else could he set up humans to set him up, unless he set that up, too? This whole thing smelled of a setup, right under his nose.
Finding no answers, he found himself lost.
For the first time in history, without beginning or end,
God was clueless. If his plan was to prove his omniscience,
now he knew how cluelessness felt.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have a clue!
He now knew what it meant not to know.
At least he knew that much.
