"Make God Great Again" Rally
Scene: A dusty plain near the hills of ancient Judea. A modest stage has been set up, with a banner reading "Make God Great Again." The audience includes shepherds, fishermen, merchants, and a few confused Pharisees. God, dressed in a simple robe with an ethereal glow, steps onto the stage to address the crowd.
God (gesturing passionately):
"People of Judea! It’s been tough lately. Tough! They say, ‘Oh, look, there’s God, but He doesn’t have a garden anymore.’ Well, I’m here to tell you, we’re turning things around!"
Crowd (cheering):
"Make God great again! Make God great again!"
God:
"You’ve heard the rumours. Kicked out of Eden. My own creation running amok, building towers to the heavens, golden calves everywhere! It’s like they’ve forgotten who invented the calf! Spoiler: it was me."
Audience Member (shouting):
"What about the locusts, Lord? Those were great!"
God (nodding):
"Thank you, thank you. Locusts were a classic. But we’re not just looking back, folks. We’re moving forward. I’ve got some new commandments cooking, streamlined, user-friendly, maybe even carved into something portable this time." Here’s a sneak peek:
Crowd:
"Yahweh! Yahweh!"
God (leaning in, conspiratorial):
"And listen, we’re bringing back omnipotence. No more ‘mysterious ways’—just direct, lightning-bolt clarity. And the miracles? Oh, the miracles are going to be huge. We’re talking loaves-and-fishes on demand, a wine-to-water toggle, and plagues that are customisable. Let’s see Baal try to compete with that."
Pharisee in the Back (grumbling):
"This sounds populist."
God (smirking):
"It’s not populist if it’s divine, my friend. Besides, who gave you your scrolls? Exactly."
Shepherd in the Front:
"Lord, will there be smiting?"
God:
"Absolutely. Selective, fair, but firm. We’ll smite smarter, not harder. And it starts with those pompous Roman gods. Zeus? Pfft. Thunder’s my thing."
Crowd (whipping into a frenzy):
"Down with Zeus! Down with Zeus!"
God:
"That’s the spirit! Now, go forth and spread the word. Tell everyone—God is back, baby. And we’re gonna make divinity great again!"
Cue a choir of angels descending to sing the rally anthem, "Stairway to Heaven—Remastered."
