Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes

Orphan Universes

We do not wish to shock you, but there exist within the multiverse a number of orphaned or abandoned universes.  These sad little corners of creation have often been abandoned, through no fault of their own, by an overwhelmed god who at some point made the decision to ignore the responsibilities of godhead and disappear- without any trace of his or her wherabouts to console the hapless residents of his or her creation.  Left to its own devices a universe will quickly fall into disrepair and destroy itself well before the natural course of things would indicate.  Society begins to break down, dangerously unstable technologies such as time travel or television may be discovered, and the very fabric of the cosmos eventually unravels into a tangled thread of misery.

This sad state of affairs is only reversible if swift action is taken by another god to intervene and set things back into their rightful order.  We ask you, then, to consider some part time volunteer godding of these orphan universes while our Society undertakes to find a permanent arrangement.  A few weekends a century would go a long way towards stabilising some of these unfortunate orphan universes that have ended up under our supervision.

In the fullness of time, as your own universe reaches maturity and approaches the apocalypse, we also ask that you consider adopting one of these orphans rather than beginning afresh with a new universe.  These poor little creations are desperately in need of the full time attention of an experienced god and we believe that giving such guidance is one of the most fullfilling endeavors any deity could choose to embark upon.
