Creation - From High School

[Written around August 2001]

 Many people have often asked:

Why would God create a universe with so much that is evil?

They have missed a greater conundrum:

Why would God create a universe at all?


If God really wanted to make a world

He'd make it an utopia

Cause everyone I know always says:

He's just, good, and omnipotent


This somehow contradicts the sayings that are in the Bible

It says God made man a reflection of himself

And one sure thing I'm really certain of

Is, that man is not, just, good, and omnipotent


This means that God is really just like man

With feelings, thoughts, appeals, and even desires

This would put upon the Greek way of thinking

That God isn't perfect, but acts with convenience


If this is true, then perhaps the past views are wrong

God may have made this universe just not to get bored

Or perhaps he's only part of a more complex reality

And we're only his toy, his experiment, his something


As long as we know this is true or we are in suspense

Then all of our existence wouldn't make any sense

Our lives become so dull, so strange, so senseless

That we recall the old saying: Ignorance is Bliss


This view, of course, may seem very ridiculous

But it is formed in a way that is pretty meticulous

The interesting and strangest thing of all about this theme

Is that nothing about this can be touched, or proved, or seen


Based upon all this above that I wrote law by law,

Then what is below is totally correct

If man is evil, and God's reflection, and this universe is senseless

There's no reason why not to say that God is also evil
