Hiya, Lesley here.

Since you seem to talk about me so much, I felt it only polite to drop in and say hello in person.
As you can imagine, I am kept rather busy but not really as busy as some may think.

You see, I populated several planets thousands of years ago, and gave the inhabitants everything they needed to survive and be happy, and then stepped back and allowed them to run them as they saw fit.
Some are coming along swimmingly. They have worked in unison with their environment, and each other, for the betterment of their society.

Others, not quite so well. Your planet is one of those. I am amazed it has survived so long, but unless things change, it won’t be around much longer. Such is life. Or death in this case.

For some reason, you are intent on destroying the perfection you received. Greed; inequality; barbarism; nuclear bombs; racism; bigotry; animal extinction; land-grabbing; even building walls and fences to keep people in or out. Inhumanity – you name it, you are guilty of it. It is hard to try to explain away how a people could spend so much money on going into space while allowing a third of their population to live in hunger and poverty, and at the same time dump 40% of food into landfill. Disgusting.

But enough about you, this is about me. You can call me God; Goddess; Yahweh; Allah; The Great Scientist in the Sky; Big Bang, anything at all. I don’t care. Does it really matter where the atom came from? The end result is the same. I usually go by Lesley, it’s a nice neutral name.
But what I do like is those who question. Question everything, all the time.
Those who follow blindly without questioning scare me a bit. I know those who claim to be my representatives on Earth have told you to follow blindly, but I never said that. I want you to constantly question, question, question.

As for those books, guess what? I didn’t write any of them. The only instructions I gave were on environmentally-friendly rock, and even those were translated incorrectly. .
An abridged version is – Be kind to your planet and all its life-forms. Not so difficult, is it?

I have sent a few people down from time to time to put you on the right road – the road to peace, harmony and love, but generally they were not listened to. You seem to prefer the dark side.

Treat any people who try to divide and conquer you with the contempt they deserve. The majority of you believe in me, Lesley, in some form or other, whether from a religious or a scientific slant, so there is no point in fighting and killing each other over me, I don’t want or need the headache of that.

Same with gender and sexuality. I had never intended for you all to be exactly the same, that would be boring. I made enough of you interested in mating with the opposite sex to continue the existence of your lifeforms, but apart from that, you are free to do and be whatever you want to be. You are not hurting anybody. Sex is the one absolute pleasure I gave you. Use it.

Oh, and bad-boy Satan doesn’t exist either. If I were all-powerful (and I am ), don’t you think I could have got rid of him if he existed?
No. Good and evil; love and hate; heaven and hell - whatever you wish to call it, exist inside every one of you. And it is up to you to decide which you are.

Final word – any badness or evil you do, don’t claim you are doing it in my name, that really pisses me off. Take responsibility for your own actions, and don’t try to use me as an excuse. And stop treating people badly because they are different to you. You aren’t all that, yanno

Signing off – Big Bang Lesley (Kinda has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?)


PS - I shan't be answering any of your questions directly. But please discuss your thoughts at will.
