God, the Devil, and the girl

I've made you in my image
Through my son I set you free
You will come home one day, and I'll be waiting
Don't worry, none of the world will follow you
No sickness, pain, tyranny, taxes, payments, depression
Gone. It's all gone.
Look, everything is new.

(Gnash Gnash), who is God? Who is this "father" he claims to be?
Who would want to abstain from these things? How dare he put limitations on you?
You are the master of your life! You know you best.
Don't let this "the world won't follow you" business work on you!
You're smarter than that...this world's all you got baby LIVE IT UP!

What? Limitations? You sound wicked...
I'm not so sure about you, God sounds a little nicer
That whole "everything is new" sure sounds great
I do hate paying rent, and man my migraines are killer
But...I do like to keep my money for myself
I like some indulgences here and there, thats not bad right?

Indulgences are great! They make you happy
You do want to be happy...don't you?
Take a sip, hike that skirt up girl IT'S PARTY TIME!
Don't worry with that old gray scrooge up there
I'll take you places you have never seen before!

Man that all sounds stinkin sweet!
No inhibitions, no judgement! Wow.
I NEVER have to go to church again?!
But...wait...I don't want to go to hell.

Hell? Take it from me, God wants you to have fun with life
He doesn't want you to be in a stuffy church anyway
...thats just a building, no real significance.
He'd rather have you out and about!
And who better to show you than a life of the party character like me?
Cultured, wise, yet fun and simple!

But....wait...I'm SO CONFUSED!
Why would God want to confuse me like this!
Why can't he be consistent!

Like I said he's a crazy old loon
Who knows how long it's been since he went batty
I used to live with him...he was going a little nuts then too...
And his "son" yeah just a manifestation of his looney tuned self.
Don't worry I'm here to weed him out for ya.
Unfold this God you are now questioning.

Hold on a second...you LIVED with him?
Who are you?

Some call me Lucie..
Others call me strictly Sir...
You can call me...Bossman.

Why Bossman?

A little nickname my pals call me no big deal..
So you down to follow me or should I find someone else?
This offer doesn't stand for just anybody..
The elite get it, your it.

What will happen to me when I die?
What will happen if I come with you?

You'll be a societal figure sweetheart.
Your name will be known everywhere.
Friends, so many you can't keep up with them all.
Invited to the best parties with some of the most influential people.

But what will happen when I die?
You forgot that part...

Well, you get to come live with me..
Where the party never stops, eternity will never be the same!
Me and you we can paint eternity...red, like fire.

Child, Child...
What are you doing?
I have promised life for you
and you consider death as an associate
Please come back to me, stray no further
Do you not know that the fire is real?

What's he talking about?
"The fire is real"?
Um...were you talking about a literal fire?

No, no like I said the old guys batty.
Life? Your living life right now!
I'm talking about the fire in our bellies for adventure!
The loon just doesn't want you to have any fun!

But earlier you said...

FORGET WHAT I SAID YOU FOOL!
Ahem....forgive me..just come with me!
It will be life like you've never lived it before!

What battles has he fought for you?
Have I not provided in your time of need?
I have proven myself time and again...
Yet you debate with this scoundrel
This Devil who only wants to crush you.
He knows my son has destroyed his "kingdom"
He knows I reign forever
For I created him.
I know every fiber of his being.
He cannot win over me.
Daughter, trust in me, do not look away
It's your choice.

You...created him?
You're right..I still have a house, a car.
I still have a job that I don't hate.
I can pay my rent on time every month
Wow...you're right, I got all these things fairly easily.
I never gave you the credit.
I'm sorry for my selfish ways...
It's really all your's anyway
Please forgive me for all my misunderstanding!
PLEASE!

Wait...wait WHAT?
No no no...don't say you're sorry
Stop begging for forgiveness!!!
YOU IDIOTIC WOMAN!
Foolish girl, I will eat you up.

See how he controls you so?
See how he calls you names?
See how he demands of you?
See how he threatens you?
I only ever have loved you.
My daughter, you are forgiven
My heart leaps at your utterance of recognition of sin
Wholly you are forgiven.
Take my hand won't you?
It's all your choice.

YES!
I will never let go.
Ever.
I will follow you closely.
I CHOOSE YOU FATHER!!
Not that beast who tried to trap me.
You only ever gave me choices.
He gave me an ultimatum.
I love you God, I love you.

That's my girl.
Come here to me.
Let's stay awhile.
I have things to show you.

Here I come Lord!

....I'll come for you...
You wait...
Just wait.....

Go away from here you ugly thing!
I am with my Father and there is much I must see.
You promiser of false and temporary things
I have no time for you here.

She's mine
Her life restored
Her spirit strengthened
You can't touch her
She lives a life she knows she doesn't deserve
But my love for her and her brothers and sisters is great!
How I would give an undeserving life to any of them if only they would believe!
I beckon them to come, but it's their choice.
I love them, my heart aches for their repentance
My heart breaks when they never do.
Oh how I lament my children who will never abide with me.
But she will be with me in a palace for eternity.
We will stroll together in the cool of the evening
Just as I did in the garden
Oh how I loved companionship with my creation
My children.
Oh how I hated to let them go!
They chose it...
But there comes a day where she with many others will come!
They will be with me in my courts!
Our family reunited once again.
My Son will gather them
My loves, My children
Just like her!

All to God
