Was it a lie?
It was lie. We were mislead. Lied to. Deceived. I'm sure that no one is going to believe me. I'll just be written off as a Satanist or maybe just a non believer. At the very least, they'll think I'm just plain crazy. But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'll give you a little background about myself. I had a strict Catholic upbringing. We were to the church up to 5 days a week. We practiced the word of the lord everyday. Following it to the letter. It was all I knew. It was all I wanted to know. It was my life. I felt the love of God pulsing through me everyday. Well, at least, I thought did.
But, All of that has changed. You see, a couple of days ago I was in a horrible car crash and had flatlined at the scene. For a short time. I was officially dead. After a lot of work, The EMT was finally able to revive me while on the way to the hospital. This is the story of what happened during those minutes before I was brought back life.
When I died, there was a bright light just like I had heard and read. It was my time to be judged, to spend eternity with my lord and savior. When I reached the bright, white light, I walked through and was greeted by an angel. His voice was soothing and put me at peace. He took me by the hand leading me to what I thought was Heaven. Unfortunately, it was everything but.
As soon as we reached our destination, I started to feel pain. I was confused. Then, I heard a bellowing laugh. Appearing before me was what I believed, at the time , to be God himself, but the peace and love I once knew and felt fled, drained from my body. Instead, all I felt was pain and misery. The God like presence came closer to me, still laughing. His words were unbelievable. "Fools! You all are fools! Believing so blindly. Never questioning anything!
I was so lost and confused! I couldn't speak. My voice was lost. I thought to myself, I must be mistaken. Am I in Hell? Is this the Devil? Then being began to laugh even harder this time.
No, you ignorant fool. You're no mistaken. I am God and you're in my kingdom. Those are the only things you were right about. I go to speak and his voice booms in my head no need to talk. I can hear your thought. In a way, I kinda pity you creatures. Actually, I admire the strength in your beliefs, but unfortunately for you, that is what has brought you to me. I am God, but not the God in your books that you worshiped, That I made sure of. It was all a truck, you see. Yes, I created your kind, but not long after that I began to dispose you. You all became my biggest disappointment. It took so much energy to create you, not to mention the universe, as well.
And you ruined it. I tried to wipe your kind out, to maybe start over again. But, you see, one of my angels my second in command stopped me to save you all. He was powerful back then. It took me by surprise! I barley had the strength to banish him from the kingdom. But, I believe that his love for me proved a weak spot. I'm sure, by now , you know whom o speak of. You call him the Devil. He is your true savior! He has been the one to continuously save your kind. I've tried in vain to wipe you out, but I grew tired of battling with him. My distaste for you beings has grown because of this... He won. And so, having to watch you continue to live your pathetic lives has only made my anger and disgust grow.
He may be strong, but I am still, and will always be, stronger than him, so I devised a plan to make you all suffer. Since I couldn't destroy Earth, I finally decided to come to earth. I started to communicated with your kind. I made so many rules, and your kind followed them blindly. After short time , well, to me it was short only few hundred years great wars broke out amongst you! All in my name all in faith! You believed in my word. It was amazing to watch. You all killing each other, in such great numbers. Al because or propaganda! It pleases me greatly. But , it wasn't enough.
Fortunately for me, technology grew. My word spread quickly. The hatred that your kind has for each other is blissful! Killing because of different beliefs, color of skin and sexual orientation and preferred. Haha! So petty. It didn't all work out in my favor, though. The non believers, or the truly free willed, I couldn't get my hands on. When they die. Only the believers in me, your so called God... Those are the souls I get to claim and damn.
"See, the devil was able to give you free will and that's the only thing that is able to save your soul. He has unconditional love for mankind. He feels I'm to fast to judge, thought it was wrong to destroy your kind. He considered your lives were to precious, that you're living beings who deserve a chance to survive. For all that, I made him hated and feared. He has been our true savior. Pure faith, even just the love you have for me is enough for me to get your soul. And you, my son are my favorites. The true blue. The ones that soaked up every word in that book of lies.
Then, all of sudden, I awaken in the hospital bed. My entire family stands around me in tears. How can I tell them that it's all been a lie? How can I get them to understand we've been misled. Like I said, they'll think I'm crazy. They'll blame it on lack of oxygen to the brain. They'll say it's just from trauma. But, at least I know the truth, and I can do my best to save others that aren't as devout as I was. So, all I have to do is not love for him, and I should be safe, right? Or, with me knowing, will that work against me? OH SHIT! What... what if that was the Devil? What if he was trying to trick me? What if God is in fact good? And... and this was all just a trick if the Devil? That by him doing so, by making me fear him and loose my faith and love for God, maybe that's his way of getting my soul. Seems now I'm damned if I do or damned if I don't.
