You need a number of mountains to believe? Poor... Your faith is so cheap!

what do you say of these new infidels who claim that you have lost the One's favor?

The One said to Me: "See, I will send venomous snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you,"
So, I claimed to the ONE: "I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Arise to help me; look on my plight!
O ONE, God Almighty, the God of Phoenatica,
rouse yourself to punish all these conspirators;
show no mercy to wicked traitors!"
And happen that On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Conan, the edict commanded by the king was to be carried out. On this day the enemies of the One and his followers had hoped to overpower them, but now the tables were turned and the Childs od ligth got the upper hand over those who hated them.
The Unos assembled in their cities in all the provinces of Phoenatica to attack those seeking their destruction. No one could stand against them, because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them

I have a message for You sinfull people:
He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the ONE your Deity and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Americans, for I am the ONE, who heals you.
So here are His decrees:
1. Kill Your enemies.
2. Make love like crazy (not have sex)
3. Have all the childrens You can.

i would like to apply for the position of the Archbishop of the church of the one.
Well, we certainly don't want to end up like the Americans, so I suggest all of you blasphemers repent.

ok. than what about "pontiff of the church of the one"? or "archpriest of the church of the one"?
I am using my political clout to proclaim myself "Archbishop of Istar", if the High Priest has no objections.

Rules to be ordered:
You need to know something first:
1. The Church Is One
2. The Church Is Holy
3. The Prophet and Bishops:
The ONE, the major God of All, called Godinex to be the chief shepherd of his Church . He gave Godinex the task of strengthening the other apostles in their faith, ensuring that they taught only what was true. Godinex led the Church in proclaiming the gospel and making decisions.
Early Unos (as are known the ONE followers) writings tell us that Godinex followers, the bishops of Asphinxia(who from the earliest times have been called by the affectionate title of "Pepe`s," which means "Cool man who spokes with the prophet Godinex and the major of the Gods many times"), continued to exercise Godinex ministry in the Church in the new provinces.
The Prophet is the legal representant of the One in the Earth and the PEPEs or bishops are representants of Godinex in their own land.
5. HOW The ONE SPEAKS TO US
As from the first, The ONE speaks to his Church through the Sacred Book (only knowed by the prophet) and through sacred Tradition. To make sure we understand him, he guides the Churchs teaching authoritythe yigüisteriumso it always interprets the text and Tradition accurately. This is the gift of infallibility.
Like the three legs on a stool, the Text, Tradition, and the mYigÑuisteium are all necessary for the stability of the Church and to guarantee sound doctrine.
6. HOW The ONE DISTRIBUTES HIS GIFTS
The One promised he would not leave us orphans but would send the Holy Soul to guide and protect us. He gave the sacraments to heal, feed, and strengthen us. The four sacraments war baptism, conciliation or confession, holy orders or matrimony, and the secret one are not just symbols. They are signs that actually convey One`s grace and love.
The ONe constantly uses material things to show his love and power. After all, matter is not evil. When he created the physical universe, everything The One created was "pretty good" .
During the ministry of Godinexm The One healed, fed, and strengthened people through humble elements such as mud, water, cookies, oil, and whisky. He could have performed his miracles directly, but he preferred to use material things to bestow his grace.
In his first public miracle Godinex turned Eyrei into a rock superstar (with 3 heads) and change a lots of fruits into wine, at the request of his people He blessed all the wars of the nation.
7. Holy Orders
Others are called to share specially in One`s priesthood. In the Old history, even though the Americans was a kingdom of priests, the ONE called certain men to a special priestly ministry. In the New history, even though Unos are a kingdom of priests, Godinex calls certain men to a special priestly ministry.
This sacrament is called holy orders. Through it priests are ordained and thus empowered to serve the Church as pastors, teachers, and spiritual fathers who heal, feed, and strengthen Ones peoplemost importantly through preaching and the administration of the sacraments.
Do You undestand all of this?

YOUR TASKS AS A Uno
Your tasks as a Uno, no matter what your age, are three:
Know your One's faith. You cannot live your faith if you do not know it, and you cannot share with others what you do not first make your own. Learning your Ones faith takes some effort, but it is effort well spent because the study is, quite literally, infinitely rewarding.
Live your One faith. Your One`s faith is a public thing. It is not meant to be left behind when you leave home. But be forewarned: Being a public Uno involves risk and loss. You will find some doors closed to you. You will lose some friends. You will be considered an outsider. But, as a consolation, remember our One`s words to the persecuted: "Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in the Golden Asphinxia".
Spread your One`s faith. Godinex wants us to bring the whole world into captivity to the truth, and the truth is the One himself, who is "the one way, and the one truth, and the real life". Spreading the faith is a task not only for bishops, priests, and religiousit is a task for all Unos.
Just before the revelation, The One told to his apostles, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you".
If we want to observe all that One commanded, if we want to believe all he taught, we must follow him through his Church. This is our great challengeand our great privilege.

I will be holding my first concert in Thebes in one week to celebrate the completion of the Forbidden Palace. The three heads are allegorical, though I have yet to figure out the meaning.
