The 8th Day of Creation
The other day, I was reminded of a television “show” I produced in college as a project for a film and television class. I called it The 8th Day of Creation. Pretty simple and straightforward, I used various visual images while the narrator and a friend were watching creation as depicted in Genesis. The narrator was Lucifer and his friend was one of his chief demons. Needless to say, they were a bit put out by what God had done. It seemed their situation was hopeless. But then, on the 8th day, after God had rested, Lucifer came up with an idea–a creation of his own. He called it “Money” and assured his friend that it would go a long way to undo all the good God had done.
My theology back then wasn’t exactly well thought-out and mature. So I couldn’t differentiate between something God created and the twisting that takes place by Satan. But money certainly is one of Satan’s favorite tools, thousands of days after its actual “creation.”
