«Chris stared out of the window», a theological tale

My English class. You should write an story starting with 🙶Chris stared out of the window waiting for the phone to ring🙷. Let’s do it.


Chris stared out of the window waiting for the phone to ring. He looked into the void while his mind wandered. Time is passing, but it is not. For an eternal being all time is present, but not always is time present. The past, the future are just states of mind for an overlord. But he is still waiting for the phone to ring. Time is coming. The decision was made. It had always been made, before time existed indeed. Chris knows all the details of the plan. He knows because he is God too. He knows because he conceived it. No matter if he had been waiting for the starting signal. No matter if he expects the Holly Spirit to announce it to him. You can can call it protocol. He knows because he had decided how to do it. But Chris doubts. He is God. He is Holly Spirit. But he has been human too. The remembrance of his humanity brings him to a controversial state of mind. Now he doubts. He has been always doubting since the world is the world and before the existence of time. And after too, because he is an eternal being. He now relives the feelings of being a human. He relives all the feelings to be all the humans. He revisits joy and pain. Joy is good, sure. But joy is is nothing special for an overlord god. But pain… pain matters for a human — and Chris has been a human. Chris knows. Chris feels. Chris understands how sad human life can be. Chris knows because he is the Father creator. He created humans. He knows how mediocrity drives the character of all the creatures privileged with consciousness. A poisoned gift. He knows how evil is always just an expression of insecurities, the lack of certainty of what will happen tomorrow. What will happen just the next second. 🙶Will I be alive? Will be the pain still exists?🙷. He knows because he feels. And he doubts because he feels. He feels it can’t be fair to judge, to condemn, to punish a living being because it was created in that way. This would not be the full of love god the Evangelists announced. How could he punish for a sin he was the cause of. But, if not, can it be fair to all the others who behave according the Word. All of those, maybe with love, maybe will pain, maybe just for selfishness, fulfilled God’s proposal of virtue and goodness. How can not distinguish their works, to award their efforts. How can it be fair. How can he be good. His is the power and the glory. He is in doubt. The phone rings.
