The Serpent Is Coming For Him...

Snakes-heads everywhere - nowhere to run nor hide - burning coals of hell awaiting his soul...

Listen to the audio of this post.

Let's call him Dave Patricks. He made a grave mistake. He messed with Satan himself. Not least was he disrespectful of the Dark Lord, he has the manners of a churl.

Oh dear.

These humans can be very misguided sometimes.

Certainly, like most hominoid bipeds on this planet, this fella-me-lad, Dave, is emotionally-driven. Not a modicum of conscious awareness, nor ability to self-observe, let alone stop internal dialog.

Had he had these abilities he would not have done what he did. And Old Nick would have respected him, and he'd have had his place among the Hierarchy of Hell. Or at least he'd have been invited to dine with them on occasion.

As it is, Satan is not amused by this overweight, drug-addled, and deluded oaf.

Thus the Serpent (the one from the Garden of Eden) is coming for Dave. I'm told by those who know that Dave is a gibbering wreck and seeing images of snake-heads everywhere, even in rock formations and stones. Friends of his are compelled to rob him, and seem quite insane, to boot. He gets in a sweat in his apartment, yet the temperature gauge shows normal (hot - yet cold - coals of Hell, anyone?).

Clearly our serpentine friend is closing in…

But perhaps we should have some sympathy? Not for Dave, methinks, it's more about having sympathy for the Devil, a man of wealth and taste. After all, think what he has to put up with! Churlish, un-hewn types like Dave, who (I'm told) has never been above taking his belt to children... oh dear... and his spawn, his sprog, hurled a cat against a wall.

Now Satan adores and truly loves brother and sister beast. So does NOT approve of these sorts of people. His wrath knows no bounds when it comes to animal cruelty. And this is why the Serpent has been unleashed and unbound. Justice for the feline and beaten children is called for.

Naturally, the Hierarchy Of Hell would not want a churlish reprobate like Dave among its number. Thus Dave's soul will be sent to oblivion. His spirit will no longer exist, nor will it reincarnate. He will be gone.

A fate worse than death?

Perhaps...

But no more than this fellow deserves…

On a positive note, the Serpent is having a grand old time tormenting Dave. He's perhaps enjoying it a little too much. But a little R&R is always in order for the Serpent. Tempting God-fearing humans is a somewhat grueling occupation, and a much misunderstood one at that.

Temptation is not all it seems.

You can see that in the Bible when Old Nick got to tempting the Jesus fella on the mount. It was all about showing the Son of God that a bit of common sense and objectivity is in order. After all, taking a leap off the mount should not have been a problem if he'd got angels to lower him safely to the ground. Satan was simply showing Jesus the scientific method. Test your theories and contentions. Plus if Jesus (perhaps a tad egocentric) had all the powers he claimed, he might-as-well put it all to good use and take over the world - especially as he insisted he was all loving, and so on... wouldn't he have made the perfect leader in a One World Order?

The point being, temptation is all about objectivity, seeing the bigger picture. Eco-checking, if you like. You lay down some temptations, and, ideally, it gets people thinking. That's the idea. But in practice we have found few Earth bipeds do a lot of that.

In fact, brother and sister beast are far superior…

They are not complicated. They do what they do. Predator or prey, they simply get on with the cycle of life. They don't think about it. They just do it.

This is the biggest problem with humans: too much thinking, which us denizens of Hell call internal dialog.

I could bring God into it. But he's been getting on my nerves for the last ten thousand years, and actually before that.

I remember saying to God, some 30,000 years ago, that the Neanderthals were his best creation - psychic powers, objective mentation systems, physically strong. All round, they were quite a thing, and, naturally, I got on well with them.

So I asked God why in hell was he looking to wipe them out?

The answer, of course, was he'd inadvertently made a superior species that would likely usurp him from his throne in Heaven. What's more, the Neanderthals had already teamed up with the Hierarchy of Hell. Thus a lot of decent sorts were wiped out. Terribly sad, I felt.

Anyway, to return to Dave. I suspect the Serpent will torment him for another month or two, and then the job will be done. Good riddance! It's justice for the cat and beaten children.
