Top 13 One-Line Anti-Theodicies to Explain ‘mother!’ (h/t John Milton)

1. Mother Earth is not happy with Father Time's career.
2. Creator is compromised by creation by way of reciprocation.
3. The paternal brooder turned out not to be such a good fit for the maternal abyss.
4. God neglects the world because its obsession with him has gone to his head.
5. The apocalypse is just God’s creative narcissism reaping what it has sown.
6. Patriarchal Being is too self-absorbed to genuinely complete matriarchal Potentiality.
7. The self-referentiality required for Actualization is a drag on Continuation.
8. God's desire to see requires creating corporeal, sensuous existence; God's need to be seen makes it a mortal sin.
9. Creation is never complete without The Fall.
10. Creative mania must not become untethered from depressive intimacy.
11. The answer to "why something, not nothing?"—Nothingness is Want, which necessarily has a generative appetite for Being; Being reciprocates with a destructive appetite for Nothingness; Their offspring is mortal Becoming.
12. Hate is just a way of referring to love's self-referential possibilities.
