Well, I must admit, I have recently fell in love with this blog. Despite the fact of this probably never happening, I still find a lot of the controversy true in away, but not on such a vast scale, and over all, find it a marvelous story, and can’t wait until the next update.
So, for those who don’t feel like reading it, I shall give you the overview:
The author decided he’d write his Sci-Fi story in the context of a blog, which he’d update in accordance to the events that would supposedly be happening to a 17 year old fellow named, ‘Milo Validus’ a 100 years in the future, in real time, which in one makes it a great story, and very unique, but in another way, is rather annoying, since it’s been two months since his last update, and I really don’t know if the story has ended or what.
Okay, so this is how the story goes, as established before, the year is 2108, 7 years after a Christian Government took over America, and decided to throw all the Atheists, Catholics, and basically anyone who wasn’t a Christian into a place called, ‘Templum’(I’m not sure if this was just for Atheists). Anyway, the people of Templum got to choose the name, ‘Templum’ because it was apparently Latin for ‘Sanctuary’, obviously meaning Sanctuary from the Christians(I don’t have anything against Christians[well,nothing personal anyway, just the general concept of religion really], but these guys were proper b*******s, crucifying Atheists and such), which was formally called, ‘Saint Louis’.
Anyway, in the year 2102, this is an extract, of an extract of a ‘Christ Approved History Text Book’(from the blog):
Biblical scholars have always agreed that there would be seven signs to demonstrate when the rapture is upon us. In 2099, the first of these signs appeared. As foretold in the Bible, earthquakes began to rumble worldwide, weaving a fearsome path of death and destruction. The most famous of these earthquakes was centered in Tokyo – an unprecedented 13.4 on the Richter scale. It leveled almost all buildings in Japan and killed virtually everyone living within the island nation.
And, yet another sign: in July 2101, the world saw the beginning of its most fearsome war ever. This war, known either as World War 3 or The Apocalyptic War, was the first large-scale nuclear war ever to occur. The conflict began on July 30, 2101 when, hidden inside a civilian car, a large-scale nuclear explosive device was sent into Israel. The bomb was detonated within Jerusalem, wiping out the entire city. To this day, no one knows who is responsible for sending in the weapon; but the destruction of Jerusalem, of course, is yet another sign of the rapture. And it was, without a doubt, the event that began the Tribulation – it was the first deadly occurrence in what is now called the “Sub-Armageddon.”
Soon, as countries accused each other of setting off the explosion, nations’ entire arsenals of nuclear missiles were launched toward their enemies. Thanks to the missile shield program started by the US in 2008, the USA and countries within western Europe (allied with the US) were largely spared from nuclear attack. However, the nuclear explosions that had occurred in parts of Eastern Europe and the Middle East caused huge levels of soot to be unleashed into the atmosphere. A nuclear winter began. The resulting intense cold, think fogginess, and unbearable dryness would make the continents of Eurasia, Africa, and Australia totally unlivable and nearly impossible to escape from. Only 238 people (out of billions) who then lived in Eurasia or Australia are still alive today, taking residence in the western hemisphere.
And, so, of course, the Government makes the assumption that this is indeed a sign of Judgment day coming.
To be quite frank, all the stuff before the supposed, July 30th Judgment Day, in 2108, was just giving you a glimpse of the predjucism that was towards Atheists, hell, even the man being crucified wasn’t that shocking, in comparison to what actually happened on the longly anticipated, ‘July 30th’.
Well, I’m not going to wreck this story for anyone who wants to read it, and I’m not going to simplify the story for lazy people, weakening the traffic brought to the actual blog as well, for the Author’s sake.
Anyway, I certainly hope that the Author eventually resumes writing entries to his blog, and it’d also be nice if he got it published, so I could buy the book!
Thanks for reading this blog post, and I know this wasn’t exactly a rant, but regardless,
Emor.
