Okay – you ruined everything for the human race. You’ve really messed up. I have not only cursed them, but cursed the snake as well.
You cursed the snake? Mate! I made the snake talk. You’re basically cursing a puppet.
I had to curse the snake. I made up some expression about bruising of heads and heels. It looked really cool when I said it I and had to curse the snake to make it work. Looking back, it wasn’t such a good idea, but it will look good in print.
By the way, the boys and I have had a think and decided to leave the world in your power to teach the humans a lesson.
You’re leaving me the world to rule? All of it? Can I do what I like?
Whatever you like.
Okay. First thing, I’m going to lift the curse on the snake.
Satan! Leave the damn snake alone. Now go and do your worst. The world is totally in your power.
Dude! A flood? Really? I thought I was in power here. What’s going on?
Do you know how boring it is being an all-powerful being with nothing to do?
Oh come on, God!
First it was the flood, then the first born in Egypt, all of Pharaoh’s troops, and now the people of Jericho?
I haven’t killed anyone yet and I’m supposed to be the bad guy.
Stop nagging. I have a statement piece line up where I throw you and your mates down to the earth (I have a “woe to the earth” piece for this – you’ll love it).
What will be the difference? I can already do what I like. How will that be any worse for the human race?
Yeah – I never thought about that, but I have that juicy little scripture lined up about hurling down the original serpent, so it stays.
The snake again? Get over it!
And then my good angels will battle with you and your demon hordes. You will be thrown into the abyss.
Wow! Chill out, pal. It’s been a while and I ought to point out that it’s coming to the end of the seventh day. You remember the seventh day – the one of rest? You’ve been busy, busy, busy! Tell you what; how about we meet up for a couple of drinks? You can unwind; we can shoot the breeze and see how things go from there.
Actually, that sounds good. Just one pre-battle drink though. Next month is October – the BIG one – and I have to have a clear head! I have some great plans for Armageddon and I need to make sure you can make it.
Can you come and pick up your dad please? He’s been here for over a century and I think he might have missed an important date.
