\n\n\ngod genuinely had no idea that people would be able to disobey him, when he made them. angels couldn\u2019t! everything in the universe was just an extension or a reflection of god himself, operating in perfect mechanical order. then he put a spark of his own creative consciousness in an animal and it turned out it could disobey him.
like, that\u2019s why he told adam and eve not to access a perfectly accessible tree. nothing else in the universe up until that point would have done something he told them not to.
that\u2019s why he asks cain a perfectly ridiculous question, given that he would have watched the murder happen right in front of him: where is your brother? what did you do to him? he didn\u2019t know cain could lie. even when adam and eve disobeyed him, surprising absolutely everyone involved, they hadn\u2019t figured out lying yet. cain figured out lying.
that\u2019s why god decides to destroy humans and start over only a few centuries later. he has no idea what to do. not only are people disobeying and lying to him, they\u2019ve started completely ignoring him, too. he can control the wind, the water, the plants, the animals, the angels, the heavens, the earth. but he cut a part of himself loose and gave it to this totally unique new critter and now he can\u2019t get it back. he can\u2019t make anyone do anything, and now they know it. he had to carve humanity back down to the one family that actually, for whatever reason, still listened to him, and he had to ride them pretty fucking hard from that point onward to make sure they didn\u2019t just\u2026.. stop. because at any point basically any human, ever, even the ones who liked him, could just randomly decide to fuck off and do their own thing.
then like, according to christians, god thought maybe he could get a handle on whatever the fuck was going on with how bad humans were being by making another human who had even more god in him than all the other humans, and that didn\u2019t work either. and also even jesus himself didn\u2019t know what humans were going to do next, which was kill him young. like, god had to break the news to him based on an educated guess, and it was a big surprise to him! he was really upset! there\u2019s a whole scene!
like, i think this is hands down the funniest fucking thing to conclude about god ever. he didn\u2019t know it was going to turn out like this when he started and he didn\u2019t know what to do when it did. he\u2019s been basically scrambling to stay on top of the situation for six thousand years and he\u2019s totally beefed it repeatedly.
god the omnipotent lord of creation knows everything, except what you\u2019re going to do next. god the supreme ruler of the universe can do anything, except stop you. you have a little piece of god inside you and it lets you defy the most fundamental machinery of existence basically whenever you like.
if that\u2019s not funny, i don\u2019t know what is.
