Chapter 10

Rochester, Homeland

 

The police were using a fire extinguisher as a battering ram on the metal door to the shadow Control Center. But the battered heavy door remained intact.

U-1, the Lucid android that was at the station with controls to the entire city; wirelessly said to the Sidekicks to “Let the police enter the room.”

The police outside the control center were surprised when a ninja Sidekick unlocked the door from the inside and opened it for the android. The police came just inside the doorway and began firing all of their ammunition from their pistols into the toys. Sidekick bits splattered everywhere in the noisy blast of shooting. A pirate and the ninja dropped, as well as a superhero. But after they all ran out of ammo, the bug gored an officer in the abdomen with a leg and he went down groaning with a deep painful puncture wound. The other police took steps backwards as they tried to reload.

More Sidekicks engaged the police. A police-themed Sidekick said, “You’re under arrest.” Then it was bashed by an actual policeman with the fire extinguisher, sending it to the floor.

When the police paused to reload new magazines into their pistols, U-1 jumped from the control station and charged them. He hit one officer extremely hard with an elbow and another devastating hit on another with its knee. U-1 remotely told the Sidekicks to put the policemen into the small hard interrogation rooms that were inside of the control room.

After the Sidekicks complied with the order to take the prisoners, U-1 ordered the Sidekicks to lock and guard the door. The Lucids, communicating through U-1 directed the Sidekicks to perform their own repairs like any respectable android, but found them to be incapable.

Then U-1 went up the dark stairway and down the short walk to the nearby entrance to the local Inquisitor branch unit. U-1 kicked the steel door off of its hinges, destroying the door jam, and it flew open. The four black Inquisitor androids in their docking stations had still not been activated. Since the Inquisitors was an autonomous UN agency, deploying them could only be done by the national headquarters in Stalin City, formerly known as Washington, D.C., and they were not deployed unless a human Inquisitor officer is among them.

Then U-1 smashed the heavy steel locked gun rack open that held the Inquisitor unit’s four rare Plasfusion rifles. These elite heavy weapons were not issued to regular military. On occasion, the rifles could overheat and cause a large explosion in the user’s hands, always resulting in death. U-1 took a rifle and fired a Plasfusion blast into the head of each of the Inquisitor androids which were in sleep mode. Smoke and sparks filled the air as each head was totally blown off. The sprinkler system was working on battery backup and started dousing the entire building, every room and hallway, with water. Dim emergency lights illuminated the hallways.

U-1 took all four of the rifles and proceeded back to the shadow controls room. The android settled back into the control station and hooked up to the recharger and brain cable to access to the city’s controls at a higher speed of data transfer.

U-1 easily took access over all of the television stations in Rochester, and quickly relayed an old recorded message from an ISA Christian evangelist, looking to be in his seventies at the time, to every household in the city.

If someone told you they had evidence that Jesus was God who came to earth to die for the sins of Man like the Bible says, would you believe it? Because if your mind is that closed that you would say “no”, you might as well not waste your time listening to this. Just go back to doing what you have been doing if you are convinced it is working out for you. If God wants to get your attention, He can do it later through any number of life-altering events. This message is to those do have an open mind, not to those who automatically assume that it is an elaborate scheme to cheat them out of their pet sins or take ten percent of all of their money. However, even scholars who have approached this topic with the mindset of a super-lawyer, seeking to disprove it have often come away with their minds totally convinced that it is true.

There are no strings attached to this message. If you make a decision for salvation through Christ, you do not need to send money to anyone. You will want to give up bad behaviors, which by the way, are not good for you in the long run. You will want to work with other Christians, none of whom were perfect before they were converted either, and still aren’t.

Personally I won’t get any financial gain out of telling you about this. My satisfaction comes in knowing that some of you made the right choice and your lives on earth will improve, and far more importantly, I’ll be with you in God’s Perfect Heaven. At this point in my life, telling you about it is my job. It would be a lot more fun to be in VR like so many others if I didn’t believe in it.

Anyways, let’s get right down to it. Ask yourself these questions:

Would Jesus go to the cross to die for an elaborate fake scheme?

Unlike Buddha or Mohammed, Jesus claimed to be God in the flesh. Only He can save your sins. If He was just a man trying to claim He was a god, He would have fled when He knew His enemies were about to kill Him. Lots of eye witnesses saw Him die a gruesome and humiliating death on the cross. Historians recorded the event.

Since He died, does that prove He was not God?

With His death, He was allowing Himself to pay for the sins of all who would believe in Him. He was a perfect sacrifice because He never committed any sins during His entire lifetime. But as God, He later resurrected himself. Then he ascended into Heaven while lots of eye witnesses saw Him. Historians recorded the event.

How do we know that these eye witnesses were not lying?

These early Christians were put to death for believing in Jesus, so they would have no reason to lie. Many people saw Jesus perform miracles that proved he was God. But those eyewitnesses were killed for the same pointless reason that you have people crusading against Christians today. The Christians are not even standing in their way of their murderous personal agenda. It is either a christophobic pathology, or just evil from the pit of Hell. Take your pick.

The Apostles were guys who were Jesus’ original disciples. A disciple is a student. An apostle is someone who is the first in an area to proclaim a new idea. So Jesus’ students became the evangelists. Some of Jesus’ disciples wrote books of the Bible.

Why would the Apostles go to their deaths because they refused to deny that Jesus was God and did the many things that were written in the Bible, unless it was true?

Peter was beheaded.

Paul was beheaded.

They think Andrew was crucified.

They think Thomas (who was the original doubting Thomas) ended up being speared by four soldiers for his faith.

Matthew: some say he was not martyred, while others say he was stabbed to death.

Bartholemew: was martyred, but not sure how.

James: stoned and then clubbed to death.

Simon: killed somehow for not worshipping the sun god.

Matthais: they believe he was burned.

John: was not martyred and lived to an old age. He wrote the Bible book of Revelation.

These men would not have willingly suffered all of these various forms of violent death promoting a religion that was illegal wherever they went. They had nothing to gain personally by doing it except they knew it was up to them to share their faith in God’s work on the cross. They were not rewarded monetarily for doing it. They had to often run to the next location. Doesn’t that just make sense to you? Christianity, in spite of most of its original leaders being killed, is the only religion that spread to large populations in all areas of the world, in spite of the threats to its early believers. Anyone who says that Christianity is a “white man’s religion” is ignorant of the facts, and probably racist.

How do we know that this old stuff is not some sort of fake history and got messed up in translation?

Many attack the facts of the Bible saying it is old and lot of it was word of mouth. What those doubters who rely on popular opinion instead of thinking for themselves have to realize is how important the Word of God was and is to its adherents. Remember that there were independent historians that agree with these facts. And also science is the best friend of the Bible. You don’t see other facts from ancient history being challenged the way Christianity is. So why Christianity? It’s the pathology or pit of Hell thing again.

People think that it was word of mouth between people who would get a fuzzy recollection of the real facts. Speaking as an older person, I can vouch that the important stuff never leaves you while you still have your mind. The important stuff can be recalled in great accuracy down to minute details. Saying their memory is too foggy is just a lame excuse.

So you may have other questions. If you want to, you can find aspects of Christianity to question the whole rest of your life. At some point, you must consider the evidence and take the step of placing your faith in Christ. Pray to accept Him right now.
