On the other side of the portal, the world of the cats watched the takeover of a kingdom take place. Many are disgusted at the sight of a guard using a baby as a living shield. Even more as Celestia the ruling monarch of the kingdom where magic is real appeared, revealing who she really is by a truth spell showing everyone that she feels no shame or guilt for what she did to her child and only cared that she was caught. And as she pleaded for her life, she was force to say that there is no good reason to save her, when asked why she should be saved. (1)

Yahweh gives out a chuckle being the one who has been showing the cat world what’s happening on the other side.

“I really should had done this before, when I still was hopeful about you cats. Making my time on Earth so big and wide in the open that the greedy bastards who started the religions couldn’t twist it to suit their needs,” Yahweh said.

“The different religions with you as the god, are all not true?” Gora asks.

“There was never a garden of Eden or an Adam and Eve, as starting an entire race from two cats would never work. You try that with any animal which you cats are animals, making them mate with only each other would just lead to inbreeding. It was tried and failed horribly. Which also means the whole flood thing that covered the world didn’t happen either. Just the flooding of the great valley that is now known as the Red Sea. Big flood but not covering the world, just stories of the flood that spread out, as you cats as a race all came from Africa. And Jesus is my son as in me being apart of the pride that his father had when I met him, i never had kittens. But became another mother to Jesus who is Mary’s child. I just taught him how to use magic and healing. So yes the Jews are right about him not being my chosen one. As I never and will never do that,” Yahweh said.

“Oh,” Gora said as being raised by the other female pride members when the mother couldn’t be there is normal.

“And I seen how the different religions twisted his words to suit them and only them to maintain their power and wealth. If I did choose someone to be my chosen one, all that pressure and people in power trying to get him to side with them for more power and wealth would happen. And has happen as plenty of con artists have started and will start cults around them being the only one who can hear me and I talk through them and only them alone. Which I have never done, as they would need to use magic to contact me first to either talk with me like using a phone or summoning me. Which is the reason why the religions made magic into the work of the devil. So that it’s impossible for anyone to call or summon me. Which yes there is a devil, one of many as there are many tales of the devil with different names. Always fighting who is the real devil, and no they don’t come to Earth to lure people to taint their souls and go to Hell. They don’t and have never needed to, you do that yourselves and just use them as a scapegoat for what you do. Their jobs is to make the people in Hell to pay for their crimes and work to be able to die for good to end it,” Yahweh said.

“There are no devils who come to Earth then?” Gora ask.

“Personal demons of your own making or a mental problem. Some people have unbalanced brain chemicals that causes them to see and hear things that aren’t there. Besides like me and other gods, the devils need someone who can use magic to bring them to Earth. And the only ones who have been able to call gods and demons are the Voodoo and Hoodoo and whatever else cults, whole different system of how to summon the loas. No one has been able to summon me for centuries now… I think it was during the Middle Ages when the last user of magic called me. Since then the so called saints and people who speak for me, have never once while they were alive actually talked to me. I so love it when they see that the faith they use to control and gain wealth actually is real and is false. Seeing how all of them have me as a man. I play along with their delusional of it just being a test and that if they double down on their beliefs that I would approve of any of their actions from forcing people to believe their way and do what they say while not following it at all, mass killings, treating females as lesser beings and others. That I’m on their side and not dropping them down into Hell,” Yahweh laughs.

“Are there any faiths base around you that are true?” Gora ask.

“Nope, all of them are made up and used what I said, changed them for their own needs. The faiths are like betting on a race horse and hoping that the one you pick is the winner. When it doesn’t matter what faith you pick. Purgatory is just the waiting station where you wait in line to be allowed in an afterlife. There are more than one afterlife, seeing how different cultures and ways of life have different values. All souls are reviewed, to see which afterlife they go to, seeing how the heaven for someone thousands of years ago is different from what you people of today think of as heaven. Which back in those days, is just having enough food, clean water, shelter, and nothing to fear of a predator or bandits appearing over the horizon. Also repentance for your sins only works when the one actually makes an effort to make it up, and not on their death bed repenting. Doesn’t work like that, you won’t go to heaven just for that last minute way pass the point it would have matter act. It just shaves off some time from the amount of debt you need to pay to die for good, and only when they actually mean it,” Yahweh said.

“So what do you do?” Jonny ask who has been working the radio equipment.

“As the top god of Earth with the most believers, even if you all think I’m a guy. I’m the boss of the other gods and demons to keep things running smoothly. Giving another reason why I don’t answer prays even if I could receive them. I’m just too busy keeping the afterlife running to bother with the extra work. Besides, I refuse to answer prays that calls me a guy,” Yahweh said.

“What about letting evil to happen?” Jonny ask.

“That is something that no one can control. You kill a chicken for food, is an evil act for the chicken, and the same goes for cutting down a tree for the wood, you’re still killing a living thing. Evil is just the other half of a prefect sphere,” Yahweh explains. “Not that it matters what I say. You people will just think I mean something else and use that to make yourselves think what you’re doing is right. I can just stop doing anything and you all will still comeback to me. Like a beaten dog loves its cruel master. I really hate you believers.”

“You hate us?” Gora ask.

“What can I say to you people where it would stick and someone won’t twist it for their own needs and you idiots follow it as being true. Selling trinkets of so called holy objects, and having you idiots donate money that goes into the pockets of the leaders to fund their lifestyles. So, here’s a song for you all who believe in any faith that is connected to me,” Yahweh said as music began to play.

“I have wasted time”
“I have seen my use”
“I have been packaged and sold every part of me”
“Suffered a lifetime of abuse”

Yahweh gets up from her seat and walks towards the river while the scene is being played in the sky all over the world.

“My words have been lost to empty faiths and their leaders”
“I have been worshipped by those who bring me shame”
“And here I am, standing on top of the world”
“With the religions making me into a man for their use”

She walks along the riverside while singing and looking sad.

“I've played the game”
“I've won it all”
“You all pray to me”
“You bought the idols”
“I've seized the day”
“Now I'vе got one thing left to say-ay-ay”

The image does a close up to her face. And she gives everyone watch the middle finger with both hands.

“Fuck you!”
“Herе's my two minutes notice”
“Fuck you!”
“Time to quit and smell the roses”
“Say goodbye, while I look you in the eye and say "Fuck you!"

She makes a rose bush grow a rose which she picks and smells.

“I have taken shit (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)”
“Been crushed under your heels (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)”
“I have suffered for profit and suckered for fame for others (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)”
“Made a fortune off of the believers using me (Ooh-ooh)”

Yahweh toss the rose into the river and walks off looking happier.

“I've had enough”
“I've hit the wall”
“I'm tired of taking your calls”
“It ends today”
“Now there's just one last thing to say-ay-ay”

Yahweh sang as she grew beautiful golden wings on her back.

“Fuck you!”
“I wish I'd said it sooner”
“Fuck you!”
“Cut you off, just like a tumor”
“Hope you die”
“Kiss my ass goodbye, you cucks”
“Fuck all of you!”

Yahweh sang as she makes the night sky light up with lights.

“Have you ever felt sick and tired of doing”
“The same shit everyday with your anger brewing”
“Eating shit for people that you're sick of serving?”
“If you ever felt the same, let me hear ya say it!”

Yahweh sang as she danced along the riverside.

“Did you really think I was gonna stay?”
“Spending life bent over with your fist in my ass”
“Slander me, say I’m not the one you worship”
“If I stick around, I'll be six more feet under the ground”

Yahweh spins around as she takes flight in the air.

“Fuck all of you!”
“Woah-oh-oh!”
“Here's my two minutes notice”
“Suck it, greedy bastards”
“Fuck you!”
“You fucking ass clowns”
“Time to quit and smell the roses”
“Say goodbye, too late to apologize!”

In front of Yahweh the gates of heaven appeared that swing open for her.

“So, this is it”
“Religion leaders, you sad sacks of shits!”
“Fuck all of you!”

Yahweh sang as the gates slam closed behind her and are barred from the inside.

“Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you”
“You sons of bitches! Yeah!”

Yahweh hangs a ‘Close’ sign on the front of the gate through the bars.

“I quit being your goddess, you fucks,” Yahweh said giving everyone the middle finger again with both hands and the gates of heaven disappeared.

Everyone was staring completely stunned.

“Does this mean all the faiths centered around her are now, closed?” Gora ask.

“Yup, she quits so it’s like a factory that or a store where you pay for things that you will never get and just need blind faith that you will get it when there is nothing inside,” Bes the dwarf god said.

“What do we do now?” Feral ask as his faith is a big part of his life.

“Well faith is still a life choice and if you still follow it and it helps you then do it. If not, well I’m a god and there’s everyone else here and more,” Bes said waving to the other gods and goddesses.

“Oh yeah, I guess we can just pick which god we worship like in the old days,” Jonny said. (2)

Author's Note

1 - At best Celestia is just a good administrator who keeps things running. Actually improving things and putting effort in protecting ponies, is where she fails. Would be one thing where she admits it and everyone in the show knows it, but in the show she is treated as all powerful and prefect. Which she isn’t and never showed at all.

2 - What really matters is that a faith helps you in some way and makes your life better, or gives you a connection to others. Like people who still go to church when they don’t believe but because they like being with the people there.
