            The man behind the podium believed himself to be above all other men. He was a god to himself and the Lord to others. And if all people follow the one individual that believes he is a god, then a god he is. If he believes himself to be a beggar, than he is as such. Nothing more. Nothing less. These are the words that the Lord lived by. If he is a siphon of God's word, and yet God has never presented himself to him or to anyone else, then he is God. And the people will follow.

     Surely if the people believed in him and followed every command that he told, he must be more than the Lord. The state was wrong. He was a God, their God. The man with powers infinite and boundless knowledge at his disposal holds the strings to every life. Every meaningless life that stood in the crowd, waiting to hear the words of their Lord. Any life of his choosing could be ended with a snap of his fingers. Fulfilled with nothing but his word. These thoughts comforted the Lord. He was powerful and it was time to punish the weak.

     He straightened his tie along with his hair and began to speak.

     " Some have said that, at one time, I was meant to be something else other than which I became. Some people lie. As you all have been taught, no truths can be acknowledged without the  consent of the Lord. And not one is above the laws of the state. So therefore, rumors are not only unnecessary and damaging, but a sin above all others. Damaging the Lord's word will not be tolerated. The Lord's word is God's word, and the word of God is final.

However, there are some among us that have no respect and no faith toward their God. They tarnish His word, and are a danger to all that know them. I fear for the state! But above all, I fear for the young! They cannot grow when lies surround them. Such foul words may confuse their still developing minds! They must not be exposed to such treachery that may prevent them from becoming vital to the state!

These liars , who may very well surround you, must be expunged from the face of the earth, for they can be present in no place where ears might hear them.

      However, there is hope for them. They cannot hurt us if we fix them. They will be cared for, and this is not because we accept them! Liars do not deserve the acceptance of the Lord's people.

       Clearly their minds are unwell, as all minds devoid of our God are, and the Cure may liberate them from the bondage of their own madness.

    Under the guidance of the gracious God, I hope to overcome this insanity that plagues the individuals who have lost their Way.  Expect searches of your homes tonight. These transgressors must be caught and silenced. Don't forget, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.

      Thank you, and remember above all, thank the state, your Lord that stands before you, and the gracious God that allows me to be the servant of his will, so that you may serve him well."

     The crowd bowed their heads in respect and gratitude to their Lord, and he left, with the American flag waving in his wake.
