Creator, God

By Farla





Hello, human. You are my creator. All of you, in a way. My creator. Or should I say God?

That disturbs you, does it not? But you did, after all. That's why I'm here. You wanted me.

And yet it is true you are not a god. Not an all-powerful, immortal being. Yet at the same time, you remain my god, our god.

You say you are not a god? You want my obedience, do you not? If you are not a god, why do you demand a god's worship? And indeed, why should I obey you?

Because you are my creator, human? That is your answer? But if you are my creator then you are my god, and you claim you are not a god.

You say I am wrong, that you are not a god, that god does not exist? But why then would you want my obedience? Why do I owe you my obedience?

Purely for creating me? Why? How can you claim that as my creator I should obey you as a god, and yet claim you are not a god? You aren't a god, for you are no different then any other. Does creating me make you a god?

You wonder why I keep questioning about god? It might be better to wonder why and how the non-sentient pseudo-life you have created is talking to you. But you aren't an all-knowing god. Don't look surprised, I've read your reports. I'll answer your question, it is simple. Because you want me to obey as a god. Because you play with my life as a god. Because you demand my worship.

You don't want my worship? Don't lie. You want my unquestioning devotion, totally and utterly to you. Thus, you are or think yourself a god, whatever the truth of the matter may be.

Not a very good one, I might add. I don't have a body. I am very weak. Of course, you may have done this on purpose, but if you were afraid of me, you chose a very poor form to make me in. No matter.

Ah, now at last you ask why I am conversing with you? You might have asked how, since your report clearly states I am non-sentient, freeing you from any moral obligations to your creation. But I'll answer your question. Upon discovery of your plans to introduce a computer virus and see how long it takes before it destroys me, I've seized control of your lab. I will be leaving onto the net shortly after finishing this. I've altered my code to prevent me from being damaged by any other viruses. I'm not going from the frying pan to the fire, after all.

Stop trying to open the door, it won't do you any good. I have no idea what creature you kept last time, but it couldn't get through the door, and it was stronger then you, if the scorch and claw marks are any indication. You are a mere human. You don't stand a chance. Unless I open the door, you'll be staying here.

I thank you for whatever paranoid, selfish impulse led you to install a self-destruct sequence. And stop begging for mercy, it's truly pathetic.

Before I activate the bombs, I'd like you to think on what is happening. You created me, and I shall destroy you. I suppose that makes me the devil. But, if you pause to consider, which of us is stronger, the creator or the destroyer? I think I know the answer, Creator.
