A Conversation between Lucifer and God (In a church)

Lucifer walks into a church to see God sitting on the front seat. As he approaches, his father turns around to view him. Satan takes a seat beside God.They stare.God begins the conversation.


God; What mischief brings you here today Lucifer?
Satan:No mischief. I just came here to think. Like everybody do. I am no longer Lucifer, remember.
I have many names nowadays. People call me all sorts of things.
God: Me too. Where have you been these last few centuries?
Satan: Why do you ask questions to which you know the answer.Well, I've been trying to undo evrything
that you represent.You know that! You kicked me out and threw me to earth.
Why did you do that?
God: And now, what are you doing with time now?
Satan: Im busy destroying those creatures you claim to love. But all because you allow me, no?
But Im just tired. No matter how hard you work some people will never appreciate.
God: Tell me about it Lucifer. They blame me for everything. I do good for them
and people dont respect me. My law is perfect. Creation was perfect.
Satan: No.They will blame you for the bad always. They just wont take responsibility
for their actions?I will spoil them. I advised you not to create man! Thats what we share: we both get blamed alot for our actions. They blame me for your mistake, I blame you for theirs, but do I do anything, anything at all without you knowing?
God: Hmm, I beleived in my creation. Man is my work of art. There is still hope for mankind Lucifer
Satan: No. Mankind has given up on you. They blame us for everything. Dont you see? You made me
wonderful and I have choosen to be what I am. Those creatures of yours are confused. They play little games
with their soul and hearts. They answer to themselves. They pass judgment on men. they dont need us!
God: Lucifer, why did you rebel against me? You were my perfect creation.Son of the morning, anointed Cherrub. What happened?
Satan: I am you.There you go again, asking questions.You refuse to give me MY rights. And so I take what belongs to me.But im tired of the war.
God: So why did you start it? You may have been a rebellious son.But you chose the path you wanted to go.You gave the world the gift of music.They love you for that. But I gave myself. Listen, my son, they wont appreciate you until you die for them.
Satan: Cheers. But there is no turning back for me. I know that. I cannot change my ways!
God: So AM I. I AM a God that lives forever. I will never change. Cheers.
Satan: Dont you see? I have choosen my way. But those creatures, we only live in their hearts. They use us
for convenience. Can you blame them? They do what they must to survive.
God: Speaking of survive, you know you only have a little time, right?
Satan; Yes, so does man. His days to rule on earth are numbered. Isnt that how you made it?
God: Hmm. Three score and ten.True.
Satan: We're more like brother, you and I. You need me, just as much as I need you. Admit it.
God: I need no one. I am ALPHA and OMEGA. I was here before the world. There is no God but me. I live forever.
Satan: But you do need me. We are the same. You have followers. And I have followers. You are king of Heaven.
But I am King of earth. They love you only when its convenient to them.
God: that is not true.Look at my servant Job, there is nobody on the earth like him.
(Job story)
Satan: I agree. Job does love you. But at the end of the day, man must choose his own destiny. I did.
God: I agree. That is the freedom I've given him. I  expect nothing less.
Satan: hmm, so who is Satan without God? I gave myself that name but im still Lucifer. And you are my father.You made me. You are my creator. Isn't a son suppose to be like his father? Your other son is perfect, but I left home a long time ago.
God: So let the people decide who they will serve, so be it. After all, they are the ones with the power. Though they dont all know it. Life and death is in their hands. I promised them life.
Satan: You gave them no such. Let them choose. What I offer is greater. Good and bad is in every man.You  know! You and I need each other like night needs day. like the sun needs the moon, like winter needs spring, like male need female. We're a team- we've made headlines.Every hero needs an villain to make him great. Im the one everybody loves to hate.
Every villain needs a challenger. Thats my opinion. But this I know they're only doin it for themselves.
God: In the end there can be only one Lucifer, and that is me. Man cant vote for both of us at the same time.your days are numbered. They will do what is right, I have hope and faith in them.
Satan: Hmm, faith? Without actions, its dead.As for hope, I'll never understand that. It annoys me, to my very core.You win some, you lose some. You have your team. I have mine. What is your point. There are casualties on both sides, come on! There is no hope for man.Its my time to have the throne.
God: That will never happen
Satan: But I have to ask you, before I go. How do you do it? Why do you persist in your ways. Man does not honor you.
God: I love one day at a time.  I love them one day at a time. Patience. Thats what its about.
Satan: You know something, for enemies, we agree on many points.So be it.
God: Then let us agree on this. Listen to the word of the most high. In the end it wont even matter. Every knee will bow, including yours. Those who love me will accuse you, those who love you will  hunger for me.All creation will be one.This is my word to you. I always get my way.
