Creation

The world should never have been created, X tells me, it was a cosmic miscarriage. God must’ve felt a moment of horror when he saw what he’d done and what would happen, then withdrawn from his creation forever. Maybe the Gnostics are right, he says, and the world really was created by an evil demiurge. Or maybe the Jainists are right, maybe we need to get rid of all this filthy matter so we can float up into God.
