The Religions of Fanatika

Many of the honoured deceased crowd round the map and watch the final moments of Fanatika. There is a hushed silence, as the volcano gives out one last great eruption. It could really be called an explosion. The entire continent which was home to Fanatika and many other countries, all with their own governments, peoples and cultures, is destroyed. In the hellish firestorms and tulmults that follow the volcano's eruption, few could ever survive. For those that are spared, it is only because of the will of Alpha...

Brother Adam: Look, there goes the Rhineland. Swallowed into the boiling seas, like so many other places.

Zarn: It has gone the way of Vanir. May the people there be accepted into Heaven as we were.

Sister Eve: Zarn, look. Your son! He has been spared!

Everyone looks and sees Zarn's son, Sky. He has been taken from the doomed land and placed by the will of Alpha in another place. Zarn is overjoyed that his son has been given a new life in a new land...

Zarn: A true miracle! My son will carry on my work in that new land.

Shaitan: Many other good souls have also been spared. I see that they have also been transported to the new land. They will all found a new civilization, a new culture with its roots in Fanatika society. Maybe in a few generations, they will even forget where they came from, if it is Alpha's will. But we shall know. We shall watch over them with interest, and when they are ready once again, then they shall know the truth once more.

Adam: Well said Shaitan. (turning to the map) Look, my friends. Fanatika's final moments.

All watch as the entire continent disappears under the waves. In a few centuries, the land will become only a legend, one of great hope and adventure. Already many people are arriving at the gates of Heaven for their final judgement...

Sheep2: What is this place? Where am I? Where are my comrades?

The Angel Michael comes over to Sheep2. Recognising him to be an atheist, he shakes his head sorrowfully...

Michael: I am sorry that you have denied the afterlife. It would have been better if you had never been born. For the Place of Lamentation is your final destination. There is no need for a trial.

Sheep2: (Angry) You don't exist! You are no Angel! I refuse to accept your authority over me! Workers of the World, refuse this Opium of the Masses! Unite with the true way of Communism! Follow me! Break the chains of the slavery of religion...

As he continues his useless tirade, the ground beneath him opens up. Horrible slimy tentacles wrap themselves around his legs and he is pulled, screaming into the Place of Lamentation. Those assembled are shocked...

Zarn: What will happen to him? He tried to kill my son, but even I didn't wish him that fate.

Michael: You don't want to know. Atheists have a special level in the Place of Lamentation reserved for them. It is not something we like to discuss.

Many thousands of new arrivals are here now. The Angels are busy processing them, getting them ready for their final judgements. Brother Adam and Sister Eve leave the scene and go for a walk...

Sister Eve: My husband, do you think that Shaitan is really correct about the people of the new land? Do you think that their decendants will forget their roots, they would forget us all?

Brother Adam: Perhaps, my love. If it is the will of Alpha. Maybe they will find a new way, but they will know Alpha eventually, even if it not how we know him. I suspect that Fanatika, and even one day, the Community, will decend into legend. But we will all be there. All the bold leaders, all the faithful servants, all the villians and the rogues, as well as the bringers of the light. Yes Eve, Fanatika might be forgotten one day by the people of the World, but all we stood for, all our hopes and dreams, that can never be extinguished!

Sister Eve: (looking long at her husband) I love you Adam. I am so happy we can spend our afterlife together.

Brother Adam: And I love you, dear Eve. Come, let us walk in the Garden...

And so, the two Spiritualists walk into the misty garden hand-in-hand. If they had eyes for anything other than each other at that point, they might have seen a figure watching them. He stands there, watching them go, and smiles to himself. It is Alpha...
 
The Judgement of the Cupertanians
A slightly different story
Suddenly, the world turned white. All around are tabels, with place card settings. They are for all Sir and Lady SaaMs, past and present. All of the people there are wearing black leisure outfits.
A figure in the front of the room: Attention! May I have your attention please! Welcome to the Gathering of the Cupertanians. To those of you who were dead, welcome back. To those of you who were alive, you're now semi-dead.
Sir SaaM the Futile: Semi-Dead?
Figure: Well, technically, none of you were ever dead. But, none of you were ever alive either.
Collective Gasp!
Figure: Settle, Settle. Dont make me push the button...
People begin to settle down, listening to what the figure says.
Figure: First, let me congratulate someone special in the audience. The only person who figured out what was going on, Lady SaaM the Binary!
Binary stands up. A teenage girl, used to programing and not fancy parties. People clap for no reason
Figure: Yes, she figured out everything. We left clues for you all. The name of your gods, the family crest, even the motto. They all fell into place once computers were invented. If you ran our official story through a binary stream, it revelaed a message from me. Now who am I, you ask? I'm Sir SaaM
Collective Gasp!
SaaM: Yes, thats right. The original. Of course, thats not my real name, just the name I use here. I am just part of an experiment to create a world ran by artifical intelegence. My coworkers and I uploaded ourselves as part of the matrix. I am merely a mortal, not a god. All the major players did it. I, however, was the only one to leave a trace of myself, through the Book Of Penguin. Yeesh, none of you ever thought it was odd that the book was solely 3s and 4s? Binary, ya van schviagers! Well, anyway. Here we are. Now, this button is the abort button to this little world. I could, if I felt like it, shut it down, destroying you all. But, I'm in a good mood. So, I'm going to take this little disk. And you will all disapear. But you wont be gone. This disk will throw the program into the hands of a Random Number Generator. And we will emerge something new. It will also wipe your memories. So, we will be a new people, ready to found a new civilization and lead it to glory. And I will lead you as I did before. And this time, the clues wont be so obvious. You're lucky you discovered computers, otherwise you would be stuck in some sort of Religious doomsday.
Now,
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Let go.
And with that, Sir SaaM pulled up a console and threw the disk into it. The world went black...
