10 - Incompatible Choices

Nobody can believe that one can spend the whole night awake and be in good form in the morning or that one can eat ice creams 3 times a day without getting fatter. Nevertheless, man appears to play this contradiction game every day.

Script:

God

So Piploum, finishing off your night? Ah, hi there son!

Jésus

Hi dad!

God

A croissant?

Jésus

Yes, thank you.

God

Your father first… I’m joking! Listen, I have a question for you.

Jésus

Yes, at your service…

God

When you spoke to them about faith, down there on earth…

Jésus

Which time?

God

The time you spoke to them on the mountain

Jésus

Goodness, they were quite sceptical then. Move mountains by faith, anyway, it would have made a mess if ever they had…

God

I often say you’re not my son for nothing. Stop kidding! I’m asking you this question because I want to be sure of it. So for them, faith seemed impossible or even incommensurable.

Jésus

What a great mystery faith is.

God

Sure enough…

Jésus

Well maybe you should write them a book, “Faith for Dumbies”. That would help them.

God

But you’re forgetting that that’s why I sent you to earth.

Jésus

1 point

God

And you did very well. You became a simple man and you spoke to them in simple terms. I don’t see anything, it’s normal because I walk by faith!

Jésus

For a true faith in a fairer world

God

Amen…

Jésus

But, most people were touched by my message. The only problem was that they thought they were living by faith without ever following the path that I showed them.

God

It seems you have forgotten that men love playing with fire.

Jésus

Hmmm, you’re right. I’ve seen quite a lot of them playing that game. Me too actually…

God

But you never lost my son. You never lost and got your fingers burnt.

Jésus

Just my hands nailed…

God

OK, we’re even

Jésus

Fair enough, all that made me certain of one thing: a man can always make good choices, even it seems super-human. Anyway, are you going to come with me?

God

No problem…

Piploum

Ah, you’re going?

God

I’m going with my son, but I’ll stay here too. I like being with you…

Piploum

With a friend like you who is always with me, I’m in 7th heaven. Ha ha! I am, aren’t I?! Cool! What were you talking about?

God

The stupidity of man. Why is it that humans who don’t have faith do so many stupid things day after day. Look at this man. He spends his time drinking and chain smoking and he thinks that he’ll be OK because he does a bit of jogging.

Piploum

Faith is being sure of what we hope for, right? Well, this guy hopes he can smoke and drink all day and never die!

God

Yes, unfortunately for him, if he continues like that he’s really going to die soon.

God

This man, what a road hog! He’s driving his car when he is completely drunk. Oh dear, he’s not going to get out of that one…

Piploum

Maybe he prayed for protection before getting in his car

God

That’s called testing God. I can’t protect humans while they are acting in such a destructive manner. It’s crazy to think that. Baby Jesus, mother of God, protect me… vroom!

Piploum

I understand. They are incompatible choices. It’s like wanting to visit Napels without a gas mask or going to a burning hot beach with no protection or bikini top.

Piploum

Oh, those lovers are cute!

God

Ah look, another one who asks his girlfriend to stay faithful when he’s off to Siberia for 3 years.

Piploum

Oh! At least, they will be able to speak by webcam.

God

Of course, they will aslo be able to marry and have children via the webcam. Let’s be serious, you can not love someone and live selfishly.

Piploum

Again, incompatible choices!

God

Exactly. Love is totally incompatible with sefishness. I’ll give you an example: You can not love your children without at least spending a bit of time with them, right?

Piploum

And you can not say you love your brother and then leave him in difficulty.

God

And you cannot say that you love me and then use me in order to dominate others, or to change my words to suit your own needs.

Piploum

Well then, you see that some men still have faith.

God

Wonderful! One more day!
