one life

lord, a moment?
what's up, archangel?
the age-old dilemma, lord. the pain of living.
you're feeling pain, archangel?
no lord. your humans. life is hard for them.
it should be. they screwed up their world. they pay for it.
is there nothing you can do for them?
well, for a start, they can stop wasting time expecting eternal life.
but that fiction gives them hope.
too bad. they should do something constructive besides praying for salvation. ain't gonna happen.
then what is the purpose of life, lord?
purpose? find a girl. or boy of course. fall in love. be productive.
too bad the bible doesn't tell them that.
the bible? pulp fiction. entertaining trash.
but you wrote it, right?
me? no way. I paid a guy named murray to do it.
murray?
I let him keep the movie rights. what did I need them for?
big of you, lord.
hey, that's how I roll.
