PRE PRODUCTION of me? I think your pretty great. You’ve given me everything I could have ever wanted. That’s good.
IDEA GENERATION Heaven and hell.
(name: Geoff Cloutski)
Two worlds – tzooks story to get into the school. Heaven: -up
Has always had everything he needed his whole life. He’s never had to struggle. He thoroughly enjoys his life and doesn’t complain about anything. Wisdom I enjoy what I have otherwise I alienate those that have less than me.
-light
(god)
-light bird wings
Is god. Knows everything. Can do anything. Is everywhere. Struggles with appreciation and acceptance. Gives and gives and gives because he wants to be needed. Is challenged when there is someone who doesn’t need him. Is exhausted with his work. And has forgotten how to have fun.
-if I am an enlightened being then why would I not have integrity. -critisim of heaven. - deism Hell: -there is no hell. -not only do you think that I exist but you thought I was a monster. You offend me. But our whole society believed it how are we supposed to escape that. I can have a relationship with the atheist without all the baggage. Idea 1: metaphor world where people are promised things by the people who take advantage of their fear Idea 2: meet with god what does he have to say? Idea 3: competition arc. Heaven powers vs hell powers.
Meet with god what does he have to say. God shows up at a guy’s flat. A batchelor type lots of money and not enough time to spend it. He doesn’t work for what he has his parents earned it all for him. Heck his grandparents earned it all for him. God plays this like a farytale at first but when he sees that the guy isn’t biting then he comes out and the two of them have a good time. But then why have such an unbalanced world. What kind of god would you be to let such disparity exist. Why not be thanos and snap your fingers and half the population of the planet. What do you think
Script God visits Geoff Cloutski as a local hooker. Geoff offers her to stay the night. They go home together. She reveals to Geoff that she is infact the lord god. Geoff wonders why she visited him. She had decided to take a night off from the whole god thing to have a little fun. Feeling pressured Geoff offers for them to sett off fireworks atop his apartment building if she can get them up there. Can I ask a question? No there is no hell Geoff. Wish I had come up with that though then id have a place to send all those assholes who drag my name through the dirt. What kind of god tortures people? I wish people would expect more integrity out of me. Can’t you just unmake that? No. why not? Integrity. They set off the fireworks. GOD takes a lot of action and Geoff just rolls with the punches.
