Bathroom Monologue: Humans on The Fall

“If you take the humans’ account for it, the War of Heaven was fought over them. God made them and liked them so much that He ordered the angels to love humans more than they loved Himself. One bigwig angel dissented and sparked a war to love the guy who made everything rather than humans, and his cause has been deemed the greatest evil ever since. Why you would believe the human account of this war, I don’t know. Check in early enough and humans thought their city was the center of the world, with the sky fixed overhead. A little later, and their planet was center of the universe. A little later, and their sun was. A little later and it’s their choices that spawn all the infinity of multiple universes. So when they say the Fall was because of them, be a little skeptical. I heard it was over the drapes.”

  4. I will pass this along to my husband, the UU minister, and it will serve as excellent sermon fodder. I am quite sure at least half of the congregation will beleive it WAS because of the drapes. peace...
