Oh my God -Part
Two
Peter
glanced over at his partner, Paul and got no encouragement. This was definitely
not going to be a good day. “ P. R. is an abbreviation for Public Relations and
Millenials are people born around the turn of the century,” Peter replied
obediently, hoping to appease the Lord with a direct answer. Well THAT was a
bust too.
“And,”
continued the Lord. “what’s an LGBTQ an’ how’dya pronounce that?” It was gettin’
very warm in the boardroom. Peter didn’t know what to say or who to pin the
dilemma on.
“Well
you see,” he sputtered, “it’s an acronym for all the groups o’ people who feel
they have no voice, but they want to be heard an’ they ain’t havin’ any luck.
There’s just too many o’ the rulin’ class yelling out their own agendas. It’s
just a total mess. So we hired a promoter to develop a means that this could
happen. What he’s doin’ is takin’ the first letter of each group and
amalgamatin’ them into an anagram that every one will recognize, thus givin’
them a voice that everybody will recognize. That way people will know who’s
talkin’ an’ perhaps pay some attention.”
Peter
was just startin’ to feel a little vindicated when God asked, “Who is this
promoter an’ where did he come from?”
“Well,
he’s sort of on loan from – from – you know. His name is Schwartz an’ he’s
really good at this stuff.”
“Schwartz?
Schwartz? You mean the Schwartz that promoted
buildin’ the Tower of Babel?” Thundered God as he
slammed his fist down on the long oak table, smashin’ it into a million tiny
splinters. “Jesus!”
he roared.
Jesus
of course was sittin’ in the boardroom. “Good one dad,” he chuckled. “I done
that a couple’a thousand years ago at the walls o’ the temple. It sure got
their attention at that time too. But slowly the greed for money took over
again an’ we’re right back to square one.”
“I Damn it!”
God muttered under his breath. He would have said ‘God Damn it’ but since he was God, this was more appropriate. “Them people are always tryin’ to take over
the world -my world. Well, they’re gonna get a big surprise when they find out
what they’re up against. Especially Schwartz. I can see now he’s nothin’ more
than an agent of Lucifer. He can lead them astray all he wants, but me, he
can’t confuse.
“Even
when I drowned all them critters durin’ the great flood, I was good enough to
preserve two of each to start all over again. Then when I froze the earth, I
left just enough room for some who could withstand it to be able to survive. An’
still they persist in tryin’ to unlock the secrets of my world. Biggest mistake
I ever made was to give them dominion over all creation. They got the idea that
they could also have dominion over me as well. Hah! That’ll be the frosty
Friday!
