The Army of God

The Army of God By: ANONYMOUS (mail will go to the Eunuch Archive) ([email protected]) [TESTICLES] [MINOR] Other: back to index The Army of God This first section consists of notes and commentary. The story itself begins below with the title in all caps THE ARMY OF GOD. Those not wanting to read the background can jump straight to the story and ignore this part. Jeremy, my now 20 year-old eunuch student from last year, bounded into my office this morning, the first day of registration for the new semester. He brought with him a hard copy of the first section of the latest story in the STB series from the Archive, "The STB Clinic Bill Smith." He wanted to show me how another writer had extended the basic plot line which I had originally taken from "Silvers" one-page story and greatly expanded into STB Law 4 and Ryans Story. Jeremy and I agreed that the new story is much better written than my two contributions. The anonymous author is a fine storyteller and his use of dialogue is convincing. He has clearly found the proper voices for the various characters. My versions were primarily political statements against the anti-abortion terrorists and those who would blindly use the parts of the Bible that they like as clubs, while ignoring the parts that they dont like. But the new story still contains that undercurrent and is far better written. (The notes at the end of STB Law 4 give the full background to the series.) The story which I had planned to write for publication in a mainstream publication has still been languishing on my computer, untouched for months. The main character, Daniel, still isnt speaking clearly through me. I think that I have the basic plot down, but it certainly isnt literature yet. I am posting the ROUGH DRAFT/plot outline here in hopes that the characters will speak to another author, hopefully the one who has already moved the story line forward and who is certainly a gifted writer. (Jeremy has promised to bring me the later installments of "Bill Smith" when they are posted.) I am on leave from teaching this academic year and will not have to work with any of the type of student who inspired my anger and my writing in the first place. It is doubtful that there would be anything to drive me back to finishing this story before next year at the earliest. Since they have made me an "acting administrator", I may not get back to teaching for some time. Hence, I have decided to pass on the story in its current, unfinished form. Hopefully, any finished version will posted elsewhere as well as to the Archive and it will be more widely read as a "mainstream" story. The political intent is, of course, important and the one castration incident is designed to come as a shock to the "innocent" reader. Whoever takes up this plot is, of course, free to change any elements to make a better story. The names of the main characters are intentional in my version. The hero, Daniel, is named, as he says in the story, after the prophet, who was almost certainly a eunuch. Ezekial is my least favorite of the prophets. His main thrust was the importance of blindly performing all of the necessary sacrifices and following all of the detailed rules and regulations of the priestly clan. Ethical behavior is far less important than the letter of the law. Isaiah, on the other hand, taught that God is most pleased by those who live ethical and moral lives, those who practice justice and honesty. An ethical life is more important than blindly following religious law. The black/white : White/Black incident is from my own childhood and messing with the minds of (mostly racist) adults in the community is a cherished memory. Easter Sunday, 2040 will fall on April Fools Day. While I have listened to many fundamentalist preachers, I find them so repellant that I have not been able to work on the details of Rev. Whites brief prayer. THE ARMY OF GOD ABRAHAM LINCOLN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, Friday, March 16, 2040 "O.K. class. Please open your textbooks to page 829: "The World Economic Collapse and the Foundation of a Christian America". "The authors describe the rapid collapse of most of the worlds economies and all of the suffering that this caused in the United States. They tell how this led to the election of the Þrst truly Christian president and Congress. One of the Þrst actions of the new Christian government was the passage of the Christian Morality and Pro-Life Act. And soon after that came passage of the Freedom of Religion amendment to the Constitution. "What are some of the consequences that came from the election of this Þrst Christian American government and the passage of new laws and the Constitutional Amendment?" "Yes, Jeremiah." "The Freedom of Religion amendment means that now were free to pray in school. It means that everyone in school worships God and reads the teachings of Jesus. "Very good, Jeremiah. Yes, the government provides daily prayers for all the teachers and students to read every day in school and we teach the Bible in all our classes. Anyone else? Ezekial?" "The Freedom of Religion amendment also means that my Dad is paid by the government to be the minister at First Baptist. The government collects taxes from everyone and then hires ministers to serve in all the churches. People have the freedom to attend the church of their choice without having to pay for it." "Yes, Zeke. Very good. Thats certainly one of the most important parts of freedom of religion. Its now free and everyone is expected to participate. "The chapter also mentions the Christian Morality and Pro-Life Act as the Þrst major law passed by the new Christian government. Today is the thirty-Þfth anniversary of the passage of that law. Its had tremendous impact on the lives of all of us today. What are some of the consequences of the law?" "Sarah" "Yes, Miss Anderson. The Pro-Life Act has meant that abortionists cant kill babies anymore. It meant that women really have to follow Jesus injunction and remain chaste until marriage. They cant kill their babies if they fornicate before marriage any more." "Very good, Sarah. Yes, it means that any girl who sins with a boy will be branded as a harlot for life. She will be disgraced and no one will ever marry her. She will be shunned for life. Both girls and boys are now forced to remain chaste. The evil of pre- marital sex disappeared almost immediately. Anybody else?" "Joel?" "Didnt it mean that instead of using abortions and birth control to kill babies and keep families small, families started having lots and lots of babies. Instead of two children, most families now have twelve or thirteen children." "Excellent, Joel. Not killing babies meant that the population exploded. All families became very large. Pretty soon it was clear that if the population kept growing, soon we wouldnt be able to grow enough food for everyone. Everyone worried about how to stabilize the population without killing babies. This lead to the Family Management Law of 2025 so that we could have a strictly Christian way to keep the population down. Next week well be reading about the intense debate that went on as the country sought a proper Christian way to control births. Killing babies through abortion or contraception was clearly un-Christian. The Family Management Law is based directly on the words of Jesus. It was designed so that usually only the eldest son in any family could marry and have children. How does the law work? Jesse." "The law says that all boys get to become soldiers in the Army of God on their fourteenth birthday. We all get to go to the Army Induction Center and make our sacriÞce so that we can serve the Lord more fully and we can work for the Kingdom of Heaven." "Almost right. The eldest son in each family doesnt get to become a soldier for the Lord. He is expected to marry and have children. Its his Christian duty to carry on his family name and to produce many more Christians to serve God. He may prefer to join the Army of God, but he has to work for the Lord in a different way." "Yes, Daniel." "Why do I have to wait until Im fourteen. Why cant I be a soldier for the Lord right now? I dont want to wait." "Me, neither!" "Me too!" "O.K. O.K. You all know that you can all choose to accept Jesus into your hearts and to become born again any time that you feel you are ready to make that decision. I know that many of you made that decision to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior when you were seven or eight years old. Twenty-one was set many years ago as the age at which children become adults. It was decided when the Family Management Law was passed that they needed to chose some age between these two. They decided that fourteen was old enough for each of you boys to make your own decision to become a soldier in the Lords army. Dont worry. Youre in the eighth grade and all of the boys in this class will turn fourteen before the end of the year. In only a few weeks all of you who are not eldest sons will get to be a soldier in the Army of God and help to create the Kingdom of Heaven." _______________excerpts from Daniels Diary_______________ Sunday, March 18, 2040 Zeke invited me to First Baptist to hear his fathers sermon this morning. I like going to the Baptist church once in a while. Reverend Whites sermons are much more exciting than Father Patricks are at St. Marys. The choir is more exciting than the Catholic one too. The sermon this morning was on Acts 8, the early Christian mission effort. Zeke said that it is his fathers favorite section of the Bible and he gives a sermon on it about every two years. I hadnt thought about it, but Zeke pointed out to me that my ancestors are from England and Germany and that the story of Philip and the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch tells of his African ancestors becoming Christian centuries before my European ancestors did. Zeke said that his father likes to jab his mostly White congregation with the story as often as he can. It also tells us how important it is to bring the entire world to Christ. How important it is for us to become soldiers for the Lord. Once Zeke pointed it out to me, I like the story too. It shows how much we need to go out and take Christs message to ALL the world, just as Philip and the Ethiopian did. Zeke said that the Ethiopian is his older brother Seths hero. He wants to be just like him and is already studying Swahili so that he can help spread the true word of Christ in Africa. In only two weeks both Zeke and I will join the Army of God so that we can fully serve the Lord. Its great that my best friend has the same birthday as I do, so we can join together in only two more weeks. Im ready! I want to help do Gods work. Tuesday, March 20, 2040 I noticed in Þrst period today that Isaiah was absent. The class was so much quieter without him questioning everything that the teacher said. I didnt think much of it until Jared mentioned at lunch that today was Isaiahs 14th birthday and that he had made his sacrifice and joined the Army of God today. I was surprised. Isaiah had said that he didnt want to make his sacriÞce. He wasnt ever going to join the Lords Army. He said that he can live a good Christian life without making his sacrifice. Hes always been strange. Jared lives next door to Isaiah and he said that Isaiahs father had told him that he wouldnt pay the Army Support Tax and that Isaiah would have to join the Army of God. He didnt have any choice. Jared said that he had heard a lot of arguing and shouting from Isaiahs house for the past two days. It seems very strange. Most of us can hardly wait to make our sacrifice and join the Army. Even the eldest sons want to join the Army of God. They wish that it werent their Christian duty to marry and have children. Theyd rather serve the Lord as members of his Army. I wish I didnt have to wait until my 14th birthday next week. I want to join with the Lord right now!!! At dinner tonight Dad talked about his day at the Army Induction Center. He said that Isaiah was brought to the Center by his father and two of his uncles. He was screaming that he didnt want to make his sacriÞce as they dragged him in. Dad said that he had asked them to bring him back in the afternoon, after all of the other boys had made their sacriÞce. He didnt want Isaiah to disturb the joyful event for the rest of the boys. Dad said that he had fewer than one boy a year who wasnt ready to make his sacriÞce. Only once in a great while did a father decide to forcibly enlist his son in the Army. The 25% Army Support Tax is high enough for fathers to try to persuade reluctant sons to join the Army, but every boy wants to enlist anyway. Dad said that when Isaiahs father and uncles brought him back, he had had to ask Caleb, his nurse, to help the three of them hold Isaiah while he gave him a sedative to calm him down. It then took four adults to strap Isaiah down to the table in the small induction room. Even with the sedative, he was screaming and struggling right up until he made his sacriÞce to join the Army of God. Dad said he hoped he wouldnt have to go through that again. He was glad that most boys are so anxious to make their sacriÞce. I know that I am! Wednesday, March 21, 2040 I went to Zekes house after school today so that we could do our homework together. We spent a little time on U.S. History, but mostly we studied for the Math test on Friday. Its just like Mr. McLaughlin to give us a big test on the day before Easter Vacation! I didnt know that the Army of God was named after a small group of freedom Þghters who had fought to stop baby-killing before the Þrst Christian American government was elected. In history today we read how they had bombed baby-killing centers and had even shot some doctors who had murdered babies. They had served the Lord, just as Zeke and I will be able to do after we make our sacriÞce next week. While we were studying for the math test, Zeke said that he was going to do the homework that would be due on the Monday after Easter. He thought that I should do it too. I couldnt believe that he would think of such a thing. We were both going to make our sacriÞce on Good Friday. We wouldnt be in math class on the following Monday. He said that since he and I are the top two students in math, it would be a great joke to play on Mr. McLaughlin to have him Þnd our papers in the stack. We could get someone like Jared to slip them in when Mr. McLaughlin wasnt looking. Thats why Zeke is my best friend. Hes got a great sense of humor. Well get together next week to do the homework. I know that Im so excited about Þnally getting to make my sacriÞce that Ill have a hard time concentrating on it. I probably wont even be able to concentrate on Fridays test. Sunday, March 25, 2040 Sunday school today was about some ancient members of the Army of God. We read part of the book of Daniel - I was named after him, and Ive always hoped that I could become more like him. We learned all about how Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem and besieged it. When he captured the city, he commanded Ashpenaz, to bring some of the people of Israel to serve in the king's palace. Among the boys he took were Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These boys kept their faith in God even though they served the king. Later King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of a false god out of gold. Then King Nebuchadnezzar called all his people to worship the statue of the false god. When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were told to bow down and worship the image they refused. They were true soldiers for the Lord and didnt waver in their faith. They were ready to die for the Lord. Nebuchadnezzar þew into a rage and cast them into a Þery furnace. "Then these men were bound in their coats, their hose, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning Þery furnace. "Therefore because the kings commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the þame of the Þre slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. "And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning Þery furnace. "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did net we cast three men bound into the midst of the Þre? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the Þre, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Daniel 4:2125" Because the three were faithful to God and did not waver, He saved them from the furnace and they received honor from Nebuchadnezzar. Only a few more days until I get to be a soldier in Gods army just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! Ill be faithful to the Lord too! Tuesday, March 27, 2040 A whole group of us met at the junior high this afternoon to play basketball. I was surprised that Jesse wasnt there. He never misses a game. Jeremiah told me that Jesse made his sacriÞce yesterday morning. It was his fourteenth birthday. Since theres no school this week, I didnt know about it. He hadnt said anything about it last Friday in school. I guess that his father wasnt willing to pay the Army Support Tax for even a few days so that Jesse could wait until Good Friday to make his sacriÞce. The game wasnt nearly as much fun without him. While Im happy for him, now that hes in the Army of God, I sure missed all of his jokes during the game. Hes always been a lot of fun to play with. Jesses always wanted to join Zeke and me. Hes wanted to make it the three musketeers rather than just our regular pair. Zekes been my best friend since his family arrived in town when we were in the third grade. We were friends even before we discovered we have the same birthday. Zeke started it by joking that his name was White and he was Black and that my name was Black and I was certainly the whitest person hed ever seen. Zeke is just about the darkest Black person I have ever seen and my skin is about as pale as it can get. Even my hair is so blonde that it disappears when its wet. Weve had a lot of fun with strangers who see us together and comment on our being black and white. We immediately say that yes, hes White and Im Black. And then we play games with their heads until theyre totally confused. Its fun! Jesses last name is Green and hes tried to join in by saying that hes Green and tan. It doesnt quite work, but weve still had a lot of fun together anyway. At least Zeke and I only need to wait until Friday to join Jesse in the Army of God. Well get to see him soon. Were both looking forward to it. I can hardly wait. Ash Wednesday, March 28, 2040 Dad and I had a long talk after dinner tonight about my sacriÞce on Friday. Hes been the AIC doctor in town since the year I was born. Hes helped hundreds of boys to make their sacriÞce to join the Army of God. He wanted to make sure that I fully understood what was going to happen to me. He also wanted to tell me a little bit about the history of the army, something that we dont get very much of in church or in school. Dad started by reminding me that hes the youngest boy in a family of thirteen children. If boys had been allowed to join the Army of God when he and his brothers were younger, he would have joined and I would never have been born. I wouldnt have so many uncles and cousins either. I have 120 cousins just on his side of the family, and there are nearly another hundred on Moms side. "When the Þrst Christian American government was Þnally elected, they immediately passed the Christian Morality and Pro-Life Act, which made all types of baby killing illegal. They were all devoutly Christian and were working to build the Kingdom of Heaven in America. They thought that all Christian Americans would be able to abstain from sex and keep family size at about the same level that it had been with abortion, baby-killing, and contraception. "What they discovered was that very few men were able to be properly celibate. Though women were easily able to remain chaste, men found it nearly impossible. Even Catholic priests, who had taken a vow of chastity were frequently unable to maintain their vow. What were ordinary people able to do? After a few years with the new law, the population was exploding with most families having at least ten children and many having even more. It was clear that there would soon be too many people to feed. In order to build the Kingdom of Heaven, they had to Þnd some fully Christian way to keep the population under control. "While they all knew that God would provide, they needed to Þnd out how. Religious and government people began reading the Bible carefully to see what ways to control the population would be totally Christian. To their amazement, they found, of course, that Jesus himself had pointed the way. All boys, other than the eldest son, were to be allowed to join the Army of God and to work for the Lord. It was their Christian duty to do their part to produce the Kingdom of Heaven in America. "The government passed the Family Management Law establishing Army Induction Centers like the one where I work. My job is to help boys make their sacriÞce as they join the Army of God. They come to me so that I can help them to do the Lords work. Of course, not all boys join the Army of God. Eldest sons are required to do their Christian duty and produce children to carry on their family name. All younger sons are free to join. Some fathers, though, prefer not to have their sons join the army. They can pay a very high Army Support Tax and prevent their sons from joining even though all boys want to join with God in this work. "You will be making your sacriÞce on Good Friday, the same day that Christ made his sacriÞce by crucifixion. The Romans used crucifixion because it was the most painful way to die. Your sacriÞce, though, will be painless. This should be a joyous celebration of joining with the Lord. It will require some cutting and blood, though. It was decided that the sacriÞce should not be done with chemical or bloodless means. You should be fully awake so that you know what is happening. You will be given enough pain killer that you will not feel anything while I cut, and it will all be over in just a few minutes." Dad then went on to describe the whole procedure in great detail so that I would know what was going to happen. He had already told me about it several times, and I had even looked at the pictures in one of his medical books. He said that I was going to make my sacriÞce on my 14th birthday and that this year my birthday fell on Good Friday. He expected that there would be many more boys than usual arriving at the AIC on Friday morning. He usually had about 10 or 12 boys joining the Army of God every day, but there had been only 7 or 8 for the past few days. He thought that fathers were paying taxes to keep their sons out of the Army long enough so that they could make their sacriÞce on the same day that Our Lord made his. Since boys who made their sacriÞce on their 14th birthday, the Þrst day we could, always went Þrst, and that since I was a very good student in school, I would probably be the Þrst to make my sacriÞce on Friday. He wanted me to set a good example for all of the others to follow. I told him that since it was also Zekes 14th birthday, he would go Þrst. Hes the best student in the whole eighth grade and he scored a lot higher than me on our last Bible exam. I knew that Zeke was looking forward to making his sacriÞce as much as I am. Hes my best friend and weve talked about it a lot. Dad said that in his excitement about my sacriÞce, hed forgotten about Zeke. He would ask Zekes father to give the prayer on Friday morning before we started. Theres a different minister every day and Reverend Whites turn isnt really until next week. He thought that he would appreciate being able to be present for Zekes sacriÞce though. I think it will be great too. We may be Catholic, but Reverend White is a lot more fun to listen to than Father Patrick is. I wonder what hell say as he prepares us for our sacriÞce? I even go to the Baptist Church with Zeke once in a while to hear Reverend White and, especially, to listen to their church choir. The Baptists sure sing better than the Catholics! Good Friday, March 30, 2040 There was no way that I could sleep last night. I lay awake wondering what it would feel like to become a soldier in the Army of God today. I knew that Dad would do everything he could to make it quick and painless, but I was still worried a little bit. I know how much he and Mom have looked forward to me becoming a soldier for the Lord. Ive been waiting for it to happen for a long time too. Mom made my favorite breakfast for me this morning and all of my brothers and sisters were there to wish me a happy 14th birthday. They were all happy that I will soon be a soldier in the Army of God the Þrst one in my family. After breakfast they all hugged me and kissed me and said good-bye before Dad and I set off for the Army Induction Center. Its good having the AIC doctor as my father. I know what to expect better than most of the boys do. We had to get there early, of course, so that Dad could get everything ready. I sat down to read the Bible while I waited. This morning I read from Psalms. Pretty soon the other boys who had just turned 14 showed up. Everybody was excited and we were all early for our sacriÞce. Most of the boys were brought by their whole families and there was a lot of hugging and kissing outside the Induction Center before they, one by one, came in and sat down to wait. Promptly at 9 oclock, the receptionist, Miss Anderson, congratulated us all on this happy day. She said that since there were so many of us this morning that we would have to make our sacriÞces in two shifts. Those of us who had our 14th birthday today got to go Þrst. The others would have to wait until after we were Þnished. There were enough Bibles for everyone to read until their turn came. Then she sent the 11 of us who had our birthday today to the sacriÞce room. We all stood there waiting for Dad to come in and start us on the path to becoming soldiers for the Lord. The stained glass window of the cruciÞxion on the north wall of the sacriÞce room is beautiful. We will all have our heads toward it as we make our sacriÞce. "Good morning boys. Congratulations on reaching your fourteenth birthdays. As second and later sons, you all are all allowed today to become soldiers in the Army of God. Today is one of the biggest groups Ive ever been privileged to induct into the Lords Army. Twenty three of you are here this morning because you are now fourteen and you have decided of your own free will to become a soldier for God. The eleven of you who have your fourteenth birthday today will be Þrst and you will be allowed to enter the Lords Army in the order of your scores on your most recent junior high school Bible exam. I know that you would all like to be Þrst, but a test of your knowledge of the Bible has been determined to be the fairest way to decide. The other twelve who are waiting turned fourteen in the past few days and have put off their enlistment so that they could join with the Lord on Good Friday, the day of Christs sacriÞce by cruciÞxion. They will make their sacriÞces after yours. "Im especially proud that my own son, Daniel, is a part of todays group. I know that hes been looking forward to this day for a long time. So have his mother and I. Hes my second son and the first to become a solder for the Kingdom of Heavens sake. Hes a good Christian boy and he has studied very hard for his Bible tests and to be ready for today. He gets to be the second boy to become a soldier in the Army of God this morning. Ezekial White had a perfect score on the last test and he gets to be Þrst. Congratulations, Zeke, I know how proud your parents are for you. "This morning you will all enter the Lords army the same way that you entered this world. You will all need to get completely undressed and take off any rings or watches as well. Then we will start with some shots of pain killer. There is no need for any pain or suffering as you all gloriously enter the service of our Lord. As soon as the pain killer has taken effect we will begin. "Would you please all get undressed now. There are some baskets at the back of the room. Please fold your clothes neatly and put them in a basket for your parents to take home. We will dress you all in white robes after your sacriÞces and help your families to take you home this afternoon. I know that your families are all planning parties in your honor to celebrate your entry into the Army of God. "Caleb will be in shortly to give you your shots of pain killer and then Reverend White, Zekes father, will come in to lead us all in prayer before we begin." We all got undressed as quickly as we could and pretty soon Caleb came in. We all took turns lying on the table and he gave us our shots of pain killer and a strong sedative so that we would all relax before Dad began. Even though we all knew that there would be cutting and blood, the sedative was so that no one would get upset when he really saw it happening. Some boys have trouble with the sight of blood. Caleb said that it would only take about Þve minutes for the pain killer take full effect. We shouldnt be able to feel anything as we became soldiers for the Lord. He said that it was a joyous event and that there was no need for any pain as we joined the Army of God. "Good morning boys." "Good morning Reverend White." "Im happy to be here this morning for this glorious event. I always enjoy coming to the AIC to help boys enter into the Lords service. I am also very pleased to be able to usher my own son into the Army of God this morning. I wish that I could have been here when his older brother made his sacriÞce. Im happy for all of you. This is an event which is good for everyone. Its good for society to maintain its population stability through purely Christian means. Its good for all of you that you will be able to better serve the Lord through your sacriÞce this morning. The pain killer takes effect very quickly and I know that Dr. Black wants to have time to Þnish all of your sacriÞces before it begins wearing off the boys who will be last. There is also another group of boys even larger than this one waiting to make their sacriÞces this morning. We have only a brief time before we should begin. "Let us all pray: "Dear Lord, please welcome these eleven boys into your fold this morning. They have all worked hard toward this moment, diligently reading the Bible and studying the words of Jesus. They willingly make this sacriÞce to more fully serve you. They are anxious to enter joyously and fully into your service. We commend them to your merciful service. "Amen" "Amen" "Reverend White, since Ezekial will be the Þrst of the boys to enter into the Army of God this morning, youre welcome to stay and help us to celebrate his sacriÞce. You can stand at the side of the table and hold his hand if you want." "Thank you. I would really like to be present for his sacriÞce. Ive been looking forward to this moment ever since the day Ezekial was born. I wish that I could have been present when his older brother made his sacriÞce two years ago." "Ezekial, would you please get up on the table and lie down. Daniel, since you get to be second, you can also stand on the other side of the table and watch what will be happening to you next. If you want, you other boys can each watch the boy ahead of you make his sacrifice as well. Aaron, you will get to watch Daniel make his sacrifice. Seth, you can watch Aaron, and so on. "O.K., Zeke, would you please scoot down toward me and get ready. Here, let me get you into proper position. Youll need to stay perfectly still once I start cutting. It will take just a few minutes for your sacriÞce. "O.K., you can recite your Bible verse now. Ill start just as soon as you Þnish it." Just as Zeke Þnished the last words of the verse, Dad made two quick cuts and Zekes bluish-white testicles popped up, ready to be removed: "For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb; and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men; and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." (Matthew 19:12) dedicated to Randall Terry, Eric Robert Rudolph, James Charles Kopp, and the many others who have worked diligently to bring this day Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We dont want equal time. We dont want pluralism. Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue.
