Is God a Teenager?

By William Freedman

Wars have been fought over them, people have created nations around them, and all of them were formed around a cluster of ideas to cling to while spinning in the darkness of an unknown space. Religions: though many have diminished with the extended exposure of humanity to space and the humanization of artificial intelligence, others have gained velocity and dispersed even more in recent years. 

 

One of the most recent religions to widen its foothold in 2170 has been Anadolescentology, the once small group of followers that believe humanity and the solar system has been created by an alien teenager in a lab off-site.

At first, many thought the young group were creating a widespread reality joke. But as the youngsters began creating aerial shrines covered in graffiti for their teenage goddess and making junk food offerings scattered around said un-tidied facilities, people began to realize this was no laughing matter.

 

Many feel that Anadolescentologists have rituals that do not mesh well with other communities, such as playing very loud Electro Martian Pop music everywhere they go, roaming the urban streets in big cliques of friends, giggling hysterically and talking passionately about their goddess, while mocking everyone’s fashion choices around them.

 

Some communities are especially concerned about their children joining in on the faith and equally ill at ease by the lobbying power of this group, who have somehow secured billions in government funds for a massive rave party in the North Pole, which will include plenty of drugs and a bountiful supply of fireworks (always a great combination) meant to please their teenage God and show their gratitude.

 

What can we say? Is it completely improbable that our lives have been designed by the whims of a hormonal being that seems to lose interest in us after a certain age? Hmm…that’s something to think about…
