Chapter 18: Worship in the Dark

The country of the United States is particularly interesting, when most states are forbidden to gamble, a proud Las Vegas in the desert is constantly laughing at them, and the five hundred and twenty-six Native American reservations in California, Oklahoma, and Arizona are full of casinos snickering; This country does not allow - sex == sex = = trade, but - undress - dance - clubs can be spread all over the country; The rule of law has been vigorously promoted in this country, but crimes such as robbery, homicide, proliferation of guns, drugs, smuggling, fraud, etc., have never been fundamentally improved.

Among them, the one that has been repeatedly banned is the cult.

I'm afraid no one remembers how many cults have been destroyed in this country, from the founding of the Fifth Gospel Reformed sect of God in the 90s by James Walker, who owned thousands of sex-slaves, who declared that you could only go to heaven if you had sex with him, to the 2008 Texas Mormon The Church of Latter-day Saints has rescued 532 women and children from the Warren Jeffs Manor, and the country seems to be in an endless struggle with various cults, and as a result, the Fifth Gospel Reformed Church of God is never the first heretical or Mormon-Church of Latter-day Saints in the land of the United States.

For example, Gospel Church of Heaven.

Anyone would think that the church is more or less related to Christianity, perhaps a branch of Christianity, but the reality is that the bishop who founded the church was a white man who had never been baptized and had never been to a Christian church once in his lifetime.

His name is Darren Hugh, and he has been arrested four times for fraud, each time for a small amount of money, but he has been able to succeed repeatedly.

Later, Darren Hugh discovered that fraud is not a long-term thing, no matter how confused the deceived person was at the time to take out the money. It won't take long to come to your senses. So, he changed his way of cheating, and used all the money to rent a church that was about to be abandoned, and he didn't even have the money to renovate it, but just cleaned it a little and began to write all kinds of touching stories inside, and copied some philosophical words from the philosophers' writings into the story as an ending. That's what he did. In order to find something similar to the Bible for his denomination, and even the name was thought of, it was called the Lost Sutra, which means that this is God's will, but it is lost.

Once all this was in place, Darren Hugh began to baash other small churches in various religious forums in the name of the protagonist of the Gospel Church of Heaven, and only then could he have the first congregation.

Sure enough. After the administrators of several church forums blocked the 'infidel' ID, some ignorant people began to think that Darren's comments on the forums still had some truth, and these people contacted him through private messages to talk to him.

There are many kinds of people in this world, but there is one that is definitely smart, and that is fraudsters.

After receiving a few private messages on websites where the administrators of some religious forums had not blocked their accounts, Darren played a trick to get away with it. First of all, send a lot of warnings to the other party, how to avoid being fooled and defiling the souls of believers in the name of religion are too many. Don't hate for life because you are confused, etc., this bastard even left a bastard at the end, 'Believing in any sect is to cleanse the soul, just do good', which turned those people upside down.

Then, Darren found himself becoming famous in certain religious forums, at least the posts, stories, and philosophical sentences he sent out began to be heckled. At this time, Darren finally began to close the net for the first time.

He wanted to recruit the congregation and invite some people to his rented chapel for a discussion on religion in the name of faith.

There were only four people who came for the first time, two old ladies, an old man and a little girl who was held in the old man's arms.

Darren wasn't discouraged. He had already prepared the means, like a master who opened an altar to give lectures, wearing a homemade white robe and began to describe to these old people what 'heaven' was, what God's wills were, why the "Lost Sutra" appeared in his hands, in the final analysis, he introduced their ideal heaven to these people who had reached the end of their lives, and told them that God had chosen him to lead the believers in their quest for inner peace.

The more Darren spoke, the more spirited he became, and finally he stood under the cross behind him and looked up at the top of the chapel with open hands, and after shouting a word that no one else could understand, the whole person slowly rose.

The old man and the old lady were all stupid, there was no Wia, no escalator, a person floated up in front of them, and after floating to a certain position, he was bathed in the sunlight shining through the window, and the sunlight under the oblique thorns was also floating with dust-like granular objects, and the whole look was comparable to the high-definition LCD TV at home.

Miracles!

They all looked stupid!

This is Darren's family history, he has developed half of the community from a few old men and old ladies, and each old man only charges $25 a month, and he just leads everyone to pretend to worship on Sunday nights, and selects some believers to come to the lecture hall, and those who can't come will be asked by Darren to record video files, so that the monthly income is as high as $12,500.

Darren was satisfied, he didn't rebuke 'extramarital sexuality' and tell the congregation that 'you can only go to heaven if you roll the sheets with him', as James Walker did, but only used a magic trick to get himself 30 centimeters off the ground, bathed in the sun, and combined with some touching stories, to get these benefits.

And most of the so-called stories recorded in the "Lost Sutra" come from the Internet, and anyone who searches a little will find that there are at least a dozen templates for this story on the Internet.

But Darren doesn't care, he just wants a stable life and can make a lot of money, in the three months since the Heavenly Evangelical Church was founded, this church has been renovated at the expense of the congregation, and a large amount of money is provided to him every month, which is enough.

For the sake of longevity, Darren rarely raised money within the church, and the only time he raised money was because a congregation had cancer, and he actually donated all the money to the congregation, thus making a name for himself in the community; For the sake of longevity, Darren never did anything to the women in the church. He found that many of the leaders of the cult were planted in this area, and with an income of $12,500 a month, even if he paid taxes, he was enough to enjoy himself, and he would never go through that self-destructive stinky move.

Over time, Darren had almost forgotten that he had originally wanted to establish a cult, and he would answer the pessimistic congregations every Sunday night. Explain to adolescent children that there are many options in life besides fooling around, and go to the relevant departments to register for the church.

The residents in the community didn't know that this church was supposed to be a cult, and some parents would bring their children to listen to Darren's analysis of human affairs, because this fraudster had a strong sense of substitution when telling stories, and his voice could directly depict the various states of the world and the cold state of the world.

However, Darren ran into a bad star.

Ted had come to worship.

God says that everybody gets anxious, hesitant, nervous, and helpless, and that more than 90 percent of our lives we have to deal with our bosses, wives, husbands, and children who never understand us. It's as if a catastrophe has struck, and anger bursts forth from the depths of our souls, and our eyes look directly at those who anger us......"

There is a kind of person in this world who is very attractive when he speaks, and Darren is this kind of person, when he speaks, there will be people who want to listen, and the slightly magnetic voice and a little smoke make every word have a tailnote.

Darren suddenly raised his hand, the wide sleeves of his robe waved in the direction of his arm, as if he had paused a scene with a wave of his hand: "Stop! ”

"God told us to stop at this time!"

"In you are blinded by wrath. When you look at your wife, your children, and your superiors in anger, it is the devil who has reached out to you! ”

"Think-about-it!"

"In your life. Have you ever endured for something? ”

Is an argument with a wife really a matter of guilt and principle? When your child doesn't live up to your expectations and you get angry, are your own flesh and blood hopeless? At the moment when your parents didn't understand you at all and you couldn't find your own world, do you remember who raised you? And the damn boss, you have to keep in mind that when anger is out, it means resignation. Don't forget that all we want is his salary at the end of the month, so what's the point of being patient for that? This money can feed a family. ”

Darren folded the sleeves of his robe, stood in the light and said, "Anger is one of the ways the devil controls us, as well as greed and jealousy. I'm not asking you to go home and see your wife or husband and others lying in the same bed and continue to be patient, I'm just telling you that when facing the people closest to you, you should consider whether you are angry under the control of the devil, or choose to shut up. ”

At this point, a parishioner suddenly asked: "What if what you say really happens?" ”

β€œWhatοΌŸβ€ Darren looked back and asked.

The man asked, "What if the wife or husband you are talking about is lying in the same bed as someone else?" ”

"Sir, do you need to ask such a question? Go to the door of your house and find the thickest baseball bat your son has ever played with, and beat him with all your might! ”

"A word of advice to you, don't tell the police that you can't help it, you must say that you think the person you love the most is being violated, or is violating others. Rest assured, God, will forgive you. ”

Rumble.

There was already laughter in the small church where only 100 people could be seated, and the photographer with the DV next to him was also laughing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed, as if someone had told a joke at a family gathering.

Darren is too good at dealing with this kind of sudden situation, and there have always been some accidents in the process of fraud in the past, but he can settle it, and this time it will be the same.

"So ......"

He thought he had coped with it, but he didn't expect the man who asked the question just now to speak again!

"And what if we run into a liar?"

When Darren moved his gaze back again, he looked at the bright lights in the church and sat in the corner wearing a suit, and the extremely gentlemanly man frowned and asked, "What?" ”

Ted stood up: "I mean, what if we meet a liar? (To be continued......)
