Short history of the corruption and fall of nations

King Eveman, was the rich and powerful king over the people of Adamland. His Evish tribe, was the rich ruling class in Adamland. King Eveman served the material and spiritual needs of the people of Adamland, and of the world. He was a good christian who built Adamland into a strong nation; he did not betray his nation. He was kind to the poor, he upheld the honor of moral ideals, but he did not plunge into foolish counterproductive attempts to force his subjects into perfect compliance with the moral ideals he upheld, by way of excess of law legislation and prosecution. Adamland and its ruling Evish tribe, grew to be materially and spiritually prosperous under his rule.

King Eveman, the Evish ruling tribe, and Adamland, knew God. They knew he was God, superior in rank to they the created beings, they knew God was a creature to be obeyed. They knew God's will for them as individuals, and they obeyed it. But they knew nothing else, they resented God keeping them in ignorance, and they resented God ordering them about and "bullying" them.

One day the Ambassador Serpentes, from far-away Rebeland, after a long journey was granted a meeting with King Eveman. Serpentes explained to King Eveman, that there is another God other than God, named Angelight, who is in rebellion against God, and who is more attractive than God. Serpentes told the king, that the emotional and material prosperity of the devotees of Angelight, exceeded that of the worshippers of God. Angelight, he explained, is loveable in that he does not bully humans into doing things, does not punish them for failing to do such things, and allows them to be wise about all kinds of things other than merely God's will for oneself, such as what is good and evil in other people's lives. God, said Serpentes, allows men to understand what God's will is for them as individuals, but Angelight, allows men to understand God's will for others, what is good and evil in other people's lives, not just in their own. Whereas with God one must wait to receive orders from him before one understands His will for one's life, (declared the ambassador Serpentes) with Angelight, one can understand God's will for one's life even before God shows what this is.

The king, his Evish tribe, and all Adamland were intrigued by the words of Ambassador Serpentes. Said they unto the ambassador, "How do we make the transition from God to Angelight, how do we go about becoming loved by Angelight, how do we acquire the powers Angelight will give us, and grow to love Angelight, and become citizens of his supernatural kingdom wherein he does not order anyone to do anything?

The ambassador in reply said to them:

 

"Yo' kin become beloved of Angelight, by disobeyin' God. When God tells yo' thet he be wantin' yo' as an indivijool t'do sumpin, disobey Him, dawgone it. Eff'n yo' please Angelight by thoombin' yer nose at God an' disobeyin' God inough, Angelight will adopp yo' as his sons an' dotters an' admit yo' t'his wonnerful realm wharin nobody is o'dered t'do ennythin', an' wharin all haf knowledge of menny fascinatin' mysteries sech as whut God be wantin' an' does not be wantin' fo' th' hoomin varmints t'do."

And so King Eveman and his Evish tribe, transferred their allegiance from God, to Angelight. They were unable to withstand the arguments of this ambassador Serpentes. They were a rich tribe that dominated their nation, most of which was not rich and not of their tribe. Their Christian religion tought them respect and show gentleness with their subjects who were not rich, but the ambassador convinced them that such kindnesses only served to endanger their security and power as the rich ruling tribe. Better it is to disobey God and wisely preserve oneself and one's tribe, (the Evish tribe grew to think) than to obey God and risk calamities such as those which befell the Christian martyers of yore.

The ambassador Serpentes explained to the Evish ruling tribe:

"In th' superio' Angelight religion, only a small far off tribe thet lives in Rebelan', named th' Specialites, is hoomin, an' all other tribes are subhoomin, fit only t'be slaves of th' Specialites; these Specialites, haf th' moral right t'murder an' steal fum an' lie t'all other tribes. Yet thar is to be foun' amongst th' subhoomin tribes, sartin unusual an' worthy varmints who by virtue of th' wealth gatherin' accomplishments perfo'med by themselves an' their ancesto's, an' by virtue of their friendship wif th' Specialites, is in th' eyes of Angelight himse'f  hoomins, brothers an' equals of th' Specialites. Yer Christian dockrine is too sof' on yer poor an' foolish subjecks. As a result one day they will  overthrow yo'. Better t'be wise than t'obey God's Christian comman'ments. Aban'on yer sof' Christian dockrines an' ascribe t'th' superio' Angelight dockrines, fo' then yer power an' th' power of yer beloved families will be assured fo' a thousan' junerashuns.

The ambassador convinced the ruling Evish tribe that the lives of the followers of Angelight were much more pleasurable than the lives of the followers of God:

"God gives yo' orders an' yo' obey them, as a result yo' fail t'partake of life's greatess pleasures; an' when yo' does partake of sech pleasures, yer so stained wif guilt thet yo' are not able t'enjoy them, dawgone it. On th' contrary, in th' spiritual kin'dom of Angelight, Angelight does not comman' yo' t'do ennythin'. Tharfo'e follewers of Angelight partake fully of all th' greatess pleasures of life, wifout havin' their pleasures diminished by enny kinds of guilts."

King Eveman and his Evish tribe found the ambassador's arguments to be irresistible. They instituted the practice of disobeying God. They lost contact with God, God ceased to give them orders. Instead of serving God, they immersed themselves in all kinds of pleasures. Usually they no longer had any idea what God wanted them as individuals to do. When they did on rare occasions know something regarding God's will for them, they disobeyed it, because they desired to through disobedience become beloved of Angelight.

 

Since in the kingdom of Angelight Angelight did not order anybody to do anything, they (the corrupted Evish tribe) despised any behavior that gave any credence to the idea that there are any orders or moral laws given by God. They sent members of the Evish tribe out as preachers who converted the non-Evish not-rich citizens of Adamland to the new religion of Angelight; they feared Christianity as a source of rebellion against their Evish tribe which now followed Angelight instead of God.

 

As a consequence, their once great and good land Adamland, degenerated into behavior that produced material physical and spiritual degeneration in every nation on earth including most extremely in their own Adamland, which they reduced to a level of degradation even lower than all the other nations on earth. Almost all of the citizens of Adamland and the world became strangers to God, while God became a stranger to them; almost all of them graduated to unhappy abodes in the afterlife.

 

Looking upon all of this God sent a great flood, it devastated Adamland and all other nations of the world only a few survived, and from this small remnant are descended the peoples of the world today, who in honor of their ancestors who were destroyed by the flood, who they consider to be honorable for the evolutionary pressures they produced by their selfishness,  are now all set to repeat the errors made by their ancestors.
