The Deity Of Dyslexia

Many wonder how much
God is the deity of the dyslexic,
with how His Word was loosed on the world, 
and when the world became so prone to error.

On the first day of creation The Word created the heavens,
the second day the earth, the third the waters,
on the fourth day land the between the waters,
on the fifth day came the creatures of the seas and the land.
And in those days the days varied vastly in length,
God did not need a watch to knew what the time was.

The result and the timing were perfect. But with man
The Word got mis-spelt.
 Woman came after that,
woman, of whom man thought 'She is my alibi:
before God I will blame her for all I don't want to be known for.'.
When God invented obedience to himself he made it as part of choice.
It took man to take the choice out of obedience, and create slavery,
making the sense of choice disappearing universal.

With modern science came a new choice
of who to blame: nobody. Where theology
pointed toward the human 'who?' and 'why?',
in the oldest, and most circular, blame game,
Science made friends with Hypothesis, Test, and Result
when all four confined themselves to the much more
reflective question of 'How?', with our being.

Nowadays I am careful about how I live,
and seek to believe, whist avoiding the blame games.

Heresy;

the oldest form of 'free will'
that religion has 'allowed',
not that the heresy 
(or anything else in life)
is in any way unconditional.

'Adam' and 'Eve'
were the first heretics
and the founders of life,
which is why ever since,
long after the events,
orthodoxy has always been
pedantic, a comma here
a full stop there, and relative.
