A History of All the World

In the beginning, God made all.
It was good.

Then, God made Man as close to him as he could
Dreaming,
Willful, and
Active. God made Man
To have a vision of the world, as he had, and to act upon it.

So, Man did.

It was not good.

God made the world.
God made man.
Man destroyed the world.
God repented his choice, and tried to
Destroy Man. He realized it was too
Late, and spared us.

Man took the gratitude, and continued to
Desecrate Nature.

God tried to bring Man back to his vision with a
Friendly agreement.
Man agreed, and then
Leaned on the superficial aspects of the agreement,
and continued to Destroy the world.

God tried to bring Man back to his vision with
Law.
Man embraced the Law, and with great
Legalistic Creativity twisted the Law so as to provide more tools with which to act,
and continued to Destroy the world.

God tried to bring Man back to his vision with
Prophets.
Man conflated Prophets with Madmen, and then unashamed
continued to Destroy the world.

God tried to bring Man back to his vision
Himself, with
  Love and
  Forgiveness.
Man embraced his love,
  Honored his sacrifice, and
  Held it up as a symbol of their own greatness,
  and in its Name
continued to Destroy the world.

God tried to bring Man back to his vision with
Inspiration,
  Guiding Mankind to greater and greater realizations of
  Scientific Truth, appreciation for the
  Common Natures and Needs of Man, and bringing an
  Enlightenment from within Man.
Man turned these inspirations towards
  War and
  Oppression when it suited him, and embraced
  Willful Ignorance of the results when it did not.
  Empowered so, Man leveraged inspiration and
continued to Destroy the world.

God repented his choice,
Backed off and permitted
Man to destroy Man.

Man has thus far obliged.
