Steven Cohen

In the beginning god didnt believe in himself

so he created the universe

That didnt do anything so he created light so

he could see the universe. This didnt do

anything either so he created time. He waited and 

waited and looked and looked and counted 

the time but still nothing happened so god 

created the earth. He sat and watched the earth 

spin and spin for a while and he got dizzy so

god created animals on the earth but they were dumb

and still nothing happened. So god created air and water 

and a garden so beautiful he cried and his tears

became tornados and hurricanes but still nothing happened. 

So god created man and he told man that he was

eternally damned and man got down on his knees

and he was afraid of god and suddenly,

god was happy.
