Somnium Devs The Satanic Dream

On the Seventh Day, God rested, dreaming of His Creation. Indeed, it was Good. When God wakes (after 18 billion years), He encounters a world filled with violence, desperation, and God-lessness. His active dream of perfection has become a total nightmare. In response to this calamity, God's Conscience takes God to trial in the Court of Heaven. The audience bears first hand witness to this cosmic drama from inside a stadium planetarium and media circus that shows the beginning, evolution, and end of the universe. Trial participants and audience alike experience the joys and terrors of human existence (the beauty and ugliness of God's creation) from within a visual and sound experience only a Vegas multimedia spectacle can create. To God's defense comes Adam, his first son, and Plato, the Philosopher. The Prosecution calls forth Rufus and Cicero, with Lucifer joining them. As the trial intensifies, new witnesses are called: Eve (Adam's wife), Jesus of Nazareth, St. Augustine, Mark Twain and the late Christopher Hitchens. While the defense tries to prove God "not guilty" by virtue of "not having been awake," the prosecution attempts to show beyond a reasonable doubt a universe that evolved by itself. Will evolution exonerate the existence of God, leaving mankind in the hands of science and to his own moral equity, or will God reform the chaotic universe led into evil by His prevailing nightmare?Chapter One - The WombChapter Two - GenesisChapter Three - God's ConfessionChapter Four - The Intruder Chapter Five - The JudgeChapter Six - Servius Suplicius Rufus Chapter Seven - AdamChapter Eight - Marcus Tullius Cicero's Opening StatementChapter Nine - Satan's Testimony Chapter Ten - Delusion The Scrolls of Mark TwainChapter Eleven - Plato and St. Augustine Chapter Twelve - The Scrolls of Mark Twain Chapter Thirteen - Jesus of NazarethChapter Fourteen - Jesus' TestimonyChapter Fifteen - Sons of GodChapter Sixteen - The God of ChaosChapter Seventeen - Eve's TestimonyChapter Eighteen - The Luciferian PrincipleChapter Nineteen - The Ghost of Mark TwainChapter Twenty - The Spirit of Muhammad Twenty-One - Of Islam and Honor Killings Twenty-Two - Free Will and Determination: God's AttributesChapter Twenty-Three - De Nihilo Vita Fit (Out of Nothing, Life Comes)Chapter Twenty-Four - Christopher HitchensChapter Twenty-Five - The "Hitch" Chapter Twenty-Six - Satan's Closing ArgumentChapter Twenty-Seven - The VerdictChapter Twenty-Eight - The First ManChapter Twenty-Nine - One Hundred Commandments for IslamChapter Thirty - Epilogue
