[Scenic Sounds]

They've already had one; and blew it. ;-)

I know, I know. I feel just awful about it all! Those lawyers can be so painfully slow at times.

But, you know, we're so lucky to be living right now and able to witness this exciting struggle - a huge clash of cultural currents. Immensely important historical events are unfolding right before our eyes! Let's enjoy every minute of it!!

I can assure you that the outcome of this particular little squabble in San Francisco is a foregone conclusion. But this is but a minor skirmish. We must save our strength for the bigger battles that are yet to come!! ;-)

We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effects of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will be from that moment without compass, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.
