God has been known to make mistakes.
He is also stubborn and pig-headed. When he created Man his advisors saw there was the potential for greatness in this new creature but also potential for evil. They said to God, ‘Chief, I think you need to give this Man thing another go. Work out the kinks.’
God said NO, IT’LL BE FINE. I’M NOT GOING TO THROW THESE CREATURES AWAY LIKE I DID WITH THE THREE WINGED ANGELS.
‘Well, the three winged angels were defective.’
BUT THEY WERE SO TOTALLY BITCHIN’. ANYWAY DON’T WORRY. HOW MUCH HARM CAN MAN REALLY DO?

An interesting look at the creation story. I’m glad He decided to give us a go, even given how it all turned out and even though He knew it would be that way.

Well done, nice little piece. I still maintain that three-winged angels can fly helicopter fashion and therefore are not completely useless.

Hmm, Well, as I see it, He said, “defective,” not unfunny, not useful, or bad….

The comic side to creation, but I kinda like someone who would talk back to God. 😉

While I might not agree with your theology, I rather enjoyed your story. “What harm can humans do?” Can we talk?

I realize this is meant to be comical then it ends with a powerful question…
“What harm can humans do?” Think Hitler, Holocaust, 9/11 and last week’s assassination of our Ambassador. Chilling.
