Speaking to God on the Big ATT Calling Card

THE THEOLOGY OF DIVERSITY

A LetterFrom: Dr. Richard G. Bentley, Ph.D. Theology, Phoenix, Arizona.

Dear American Civil Rights Review:

Your web site is fantastic!

I talked to God on the phone last night. It burned a big bill into my ATTaccount. God said that he was getting sick of multi-culturalism and thatdidn't man understand that he created the plants and animals and peopleof the world to multiply as to their own kind. I explained to God that thiswas anti-diversity. He said mono-theism and anti-diversity were synonomous;otherwise, there would be a bunch of gods instead of just one.

"What are you going to do about it?" God asked.

I swallowed a moment, weighing my words, thinking that eternal life mighthang on the answer, this being my own personal 'one hand clapping mantra.'

"I guess I'll move to a neighborhood where only my own kind live?"

God's voice was soft. "Yes." he said. "I bore each of youfor a special purpose known only to me and to them. Each of you is different.I purposely separated you by continents and by nations to keep you safefrom each other, lest you harm yourselves. In order to keep you that way,I placed inside the fiery heart of each one of you on Earth the desire tolive with your own kind and to be suspicious and wary of others. Why? BecauseI wanted My Creation to remain sacred, My people separate forever. Thereis good in separation. No man can ever be "one" with everyone.A man cannot understand even himself or his own kind. How then, can he beexpected to understand others? It is an abomination. It is the greatestlie to believe that you, who are troubled and weary, can imagine what someoneelse or some other people think. You can never know. Therefore, stay separateand build fences of power between all peoples so you will prosper.

"However, man feeling that he is better than My Creation, made theinevitable mistake. Man tore down his fences and let in his natural enemies.In America, the Indians foolishly allowed the Europeans to enter My landthat I had given the Indians for their inheritance, but the Europeans wereallowed to enter the wilderness they had always owned. Now, the Indiansare toys on small reservations. Yet, now the Europeans whom I have allowedto do this thing have disobeyed me. They have in turn denied My Creationand My gift of this continent filled with brooks and streams, mountains,prairies, and wild birds. So, America must die again as did the Indian America,because you did not follow reason. You thought you were as big as the world,but I have created you to be divisive and wary of others. However, in yourperverse reason, you have defied me.

I tell you this. Your civilizations throughout history have crumbled wheneveryou attempted to mix My peoples. Look at Rome. I blessed Rome with tall,fierce warriors carved from hard farms. Then Rome overgrew itself. Romeenlarged its borders and welcomed peoples from all over the world into itscity, people I wished to live separately in diverse civilizations. But Romedestroyed My diverse plans, and, wishing to be diverse itself, to be betterthan the Lord's Creation, I, the Lord, destroyed Rome. When England conqueredmuch of the world, I rejoiced. However, when England invited My peoplesto come and integrate into a colorless culture, thus wrecking havoc on Myworld of true diversity, giving diversity a mere mimic or echo of its greatnesses,I destroyed her as a harlot who had violated My Creation. Likewise, forthese reasons, have I destroyed Russia, The Incas, India, Sierra Leone,and all other areas where the foreign tongue was spoken along with the naturallocal tongue. I could not tolerate this sinful wickedness. So, I killedtheir young men, allowed their women to be taken by foreigners, and causedtheir original blood lines to be scattered to the ends of the earth."

I sighed. Things seemed so wrong. I had always been told that integration,not segregation, was godly.

God continued: "Diversity is best kept diverse through borders. Keeptherefore yourselves separate and avoid inevitable conflict and social ruin.Remember My Creation, that I carefully forged you separate people so I couldenjoy watching each of you as My diverse children, and I made you suspectother groups in order to make you strong and straight as an arrow and tokeep your specialness the way it was meant to be, as I created you. AndI made war and mayhem your right arm,and I did that to help your nationsand peoples to survive, to hone your strength during each generation, andto make your men manly and lean through bloodshed and strain, those thingsthrough which men are tested before My sight, for I am watching. Withoutthese things, order will become disorder. Your world is My world. It isonly yours as long as I want it to be your world. I can take it back inthe sweep of a single comet blazing across the sky, heating the air intoa burning, sulfuric hell, and I will. The inevitable cleansing wherein yourpeople shall all perish is ahead.

"I cannot stop My Creations, and to Create I require whole planetaryspheres, star systems, galaxies, universes. You are not my best work. Whatthinks you that you are so great? Only that I have made you. That is all.Without the Lord, you would not take a single breath. Take heed that I notshorten those days before your going. Remember the dinosaurs and tremble;before them you would be nothing. They would have beaten down your nationsfounders and eaten their children alive if I so wanted that. But I tiredof my dinosaurs and their endless wandering across beautiful continentsthat drifted apart like ships the harbor, and with my comets, two in a row,I killed most of them, saving only the crocodiles, to make room for yourpitiful emerge so that I might amuse myself with your comings and goings,and so I have allowed you to have a moment or two in my sunlight. Be good,that I admire you. Perhaps I will repent of My plans for your eschatological,flame engulfed ending. So. Keep your world orderly by following, as bestyou can, what the Lord hath done. Keep yourselves sacred by keeping themseparate, for that is how and why I made you. Do not corrupt this plan orI shall kill you, but first I will destroy you as I have every other nationthat lost my way and followed 'better ways' in their own minds, convincingtheir puny unreasoned minds that I had so ordained when, anyone lookingabout, could see otherwise."

So, my fellow humans, take heed of my telephone call to God.

Beware my travellers on this Earth. Keep for yourselves good, strong borderswithout immigration, without integration, without ending the great diversitythat God had created for himself to enjoy--these were things that ensureour borrowing of this blue watery planet for our time.

Foreigners, beware. Stay away, my friends. Protect yourselves and your ways,for God is watching you, for God created you for His own needs and not foryours in order to watch you in your original diversity. Stay separate inthe country and continent God purchased for you in His Divine Creation.

Diverse peoples in America, secure yourselves within your own enclaves.Work against the evil of integration in which your cultures and blood linesare squeezed dry. Sequester yourselves as monks in the Middle Ages and donot integrate or intermarry, and, mostly, respect yourselve, for God madeyou what you are, and you are to remain lest God come and take you and allof us for His Newest Creation Instead, revive your cultural inheritanceswithin tightly held communities and communions so that God will look downand smile, that He admire you from His throne above and spare the worldand the country from cometary disasters or from the ultimate historicaldismemberment of each offending nation, as has happened to the harlots ofRome, Greece, Egypt, Babylon, India, The Incas, England, France, SierraLeone, and the hundreds of geographical wonders in this wonderful worldof God that we borrow time upon.
