X: Dear God
"Our Father who art in heaven ... "
Hello, God. It's been awhile.
Well, it's not as if I haven't had my reasons to not talk to You.
After that last time ...
But You know all about that, don't You?
Rhetorical question. Sorry.
Is this what You wanted?
For it to end like this?
I know it's not my place to question Your will, but it wouldn't be the first time, no?
Why would you sacrifice Your only son for this?
It seems like a bit of a waste, if You want my opinion on it.
" ... hallowed be Thy name ... "
I suppose You're going to tell me "I told you so."
Yeah, I know. St. John the Divine and his Revelations. It's all there.
Seven Angels and Seven Seals.
Didn't You once tell me, not directly of course, excuse me, that the farther I run from You, the closer I'll get?
So, I'm back. I suppose I never got too far to begin with.
Or if I ever really went away.
But ...
God, tell me this ... if it's so obvious who will win, if it's predestined, then why bother with all this window dressing?
Just blow it all to Hell and get it over and done with?
Don't tell me You're not capable of doing that.
What's the point of all these battles?
You're not going to answer that are You?
" ... Thy Kingdom come ... "
You've got a sick sense of humor, sometimes.
I like that. Too bad we don't get along too well.
Y'know, I think I know why we, they, I, whatever, fight.
Because it's _not_ predestined.
Otherwise, why fight Fate?
It's another rhetorical question. Don't worry about it.
But, even so, I wonder about the answer.
" ... Thy Will be done ... "
God.
The last time this happened ....
The last time I thought I was fighting for You ....
I lost my love.
I lost my faith.
I lost my innocence.
I lost my soul.
" ... on Earth ... "
What have I got left? Not a whole lot, really.
I'm fucking tired of this.
But what can I do? Not a whole lot either.
I thought I could run from You and, well, obviously that didn't work.
I wish I could get my hands around Your hallowed neck and squeeze.
I want to make You pay for all the atrocities committed in Your Name.
But that's not going to happen, is it?
You won't let it.
Why do I even bother?
All I can do is wait for the Promised Day.
" ... as it is in Heaven."
Amen.

- Anyone who asks if God is Mokona will be thermo-nuked.
- Alcohol and Scripture do not mix, especially if you seek Revelation.
- The speaker is whoever you want it to be; I'll take the Fifth.
