Read the passage from "The Book of Martha.”"This is what you're to do," God said. "You will help humankind to survive its greedy, murderous, wasteful adolescence. Help it to find less destructive, more peaceful, sustainable ways to live."Martha stared at him. After a while, she said feebly, ". . . what?""If you don't help them, they will be destroyed.""You're going to destroy them . . . again?" she whispered."Of course not," God said, sounding annoyed. "They're well on the way to destroying billions of themselves by greatly changing the ability of the earth to sustain them. That's why they need help. That's why you will help them.""How?" she asked. She shook her head. "What can I do?""Don't worry," God said. "I won't be sending you back home with another message that people can ignore or twist to suit themselves. It's too late for that kind of thing anyway."
