God is Covered in Oil

................................

Behold the gods of unregulated industry: they guard the wells, the banks, the battlefields; they guard the media, the farms, the laboratories.

These gods are sick. They have sated themselves on the planet's bounty and their attendant gluttony has created misery. We are being told that there is trouble in the Gulf. But we are not told the real story. Gods don't want the whole story told about anything, lest it become apparent that they aren't gods at all but just dumb, greedy, powerful men.

So as the oil weeps its way into the ocean, starting a chain of death that the stupid god-men dismiss with a smirk, thinking they are immune from the effects of their unregulated ignorance, the rest of the sentient world will have to resign themselves to becoming a race of coal mine canaries, twitching and spasming as the waters become fouled, the food chain ruptures, the life cycle becomes corrupted and the world wide withering begins.

Maybe the bible was a deceptively wry joke, that "God" is really Man, and that "His" creation is really whatever Man creates out of what the resources the Earth has in abundance. And that Armageddon is the war Man has with his world after the generations of misuse and abuse.

3. Absolutely true. And humans think aliens might want contact with us. Gotta be kidding. We are like

a plague. An extraterrestrial experiment gone amiss. We belong in a capped test tube.

5. "The earth is an organism, and that organism has a skin...

...and that skin has diseases; one of these diseases is man." -- Nietzsche

2. The oil gods don't have to deal with it... let the peasants and serfs of the land

deal with the mess. We've got our money. Screw them, they never had anything anyway...
