The God of the Future

The past doesn't exist.The present is a lie. The future is an illusion. Time.God.Being. Yesterday.Today.Tomorrow. God was.God wasn't.God is.God isn't.God will be.God will not be.The journey never changes.The future is inertia.Maybe it's not the first time we've experienced it all?Died.Dead.Dying. The incarnation of God grows stranger and stranger.These are the visions.Here in the past.Here in the present. Trinities of time call to us . . . from somewhere beyond.Dogs demand salvation.Robots reproduce.Pollution forces evacuation.Chaos rages. The end is near.A demise of God is here.Welcome to the future.
