Avalon Needs It's Apples (A conversation of religious philosophy between Lord of the manor and minister of the parish)



Lord: "Do come in Reverend, make yourself at home. And may I take the chance to welcome you to the parish?"

Rev: "Thank you my Lord. I understand you summoned me to talk of the death of my predecessor?"

Lord: "Ah yes. such mysterious circumstance. Very strange, very strange indeed."

Rev: "Nothing strange about it to me, my Lord. He was brutally murdered, I believe!"

Lord: "Murdered is such a boorish word, Reverend, especially when it was never proved.

"Would you care for a drink?"

Rev: "Scotch and soda, if you're offering, my Lord.

"When a man is beheaded upon a stone alter, I'd call that murder."

Lord: "We all have our opinions Reverend, but I'm afraid I don't share yours. Your predecessor suffered a terrible death, that's true. But he wasn't murdered, it was all a terrible accident."

Rev: "There are very insinuating circumstances. So much more than a mere hint, my Lord."

Lord: "Ah a hint, that's a very covert word for a man of the cloth. It speaks of the secrets of paganism."

Rev: "And are you a practicing pagan, my Lord?"

Lord: "Let's just say I have studdied the wisdom of the ancients. This land was a sanctuary for druids before christianity wiped them out."

Rev: "Hethen worship and idolarity were frowned upon by the early church, but I feel it is unfair to say that christianity went out of the way to slaughter them. After all, there are still practicing witches and druids

all over the world today."

Lord: "Ah, but they are new age wiccans who can only guess at the true magic of the ancient arts."

Rev: "Do tell me, my Lord, do you have the wisdom of such ancient magic spells and potions?"

Lord: "This whole area is steeped in the magic of the ancients, Reverend, for it is held within the very nature of the countryside."

Rev: "Magic and mircle can only be performed with devine intervention, my Lord."

Lord: "Ah, you are so right in what you say, Reverend. There are so many deities in the cosmic expanse who can perform such deeds."

Rev: "I serve but one God my Lord, he is the true creator of all things!"

Lord: "Chritianity is not a monotheistic religion, Reverend, it has many deities. Look at all those saints!"

Rev: "The saints acted by the will of God, my Lord. They were gifted the power of miracle to act on his behalf."

Lord: "As were the demons from Hell given the powers of destruction by their master, Satan."

Rev: "Am I to take it you are a practicing Satanist, my Lord?"

Lord: "Not at all, Reverend, I am merely pointing out the flaws in your belief of a monotheistic religion. Without Satan, God has no adversary, therefore he loses credibility with his flock and becomes tedious!"

Rev: "That is a blasphemous and heritical thing to say, my Lord. Do you truelly understand what you say?"

Lord: "Indeed I do, Reverend, for I have sought and found the wisdom of cosmic truth. It lies not in love, but in commotion and violence. Survival of the fittest, I believe, is the order of the day. True love can only

be achieved with the ultimate sacrifice. You may dedicate your life to your God, Reverend, but will you be willing to give up your mortal soul to Him?"

Rev: "My soul and my spirit belong to my God, and I shall go unto him willingly, when my time comes, my Lord!"

Lord: "And do you think he will give you a pew to kneel in homage to His glory?"

Rev: "I shall feel the true glory of the Lord Almighty when I reach His kingdom in Heaven. My fate is already sealed in my allegience to my God!"

Lord: "That is good reverend. Am I to take it then that you are not afraid of dying?"

Rev: "Why should I be? I will have Jesus Christ wait to greet me on the other side!"

Lord: "Ah yes, that man! He was a mere mortal, you know!"

Rev: "My Lord, you insult me and my beliefs. Jesus Christ was the true Son of God, sent to Earth to redeem our souls from the very blasphemy that you speak!"

Lord: "I am merely stating the facts as I see then, Reverend. Please forgive my offensive remarks, but I stand by what I have said!"

Rev: "I will forgive you my Lord, but only because God would wish me to do so! Now if you will excuse me, I must take my leave, for I find your remarks both insulting and offensive!"

Lord: "You know I can't allow you to leave, Reverend, you are needed here to put the spirit back into my little Avalon. This estate needs a man of your circumstance."

Rev: "If you need me, my Lord, you need only visit my church. Now if you'll excuse me, I shall bid you a good night!"

Lord: "Indeed you shall not, Reverend. I have already told you, I need a man of your stance to revitalise my little Avalon!"

Rev: "My God! It was you who murdered my predicessor!"

Lord: "I have told you before, Reverend, murder is such a boorish word. I prefer the words, mercy killing. Did you know he was a sick paedophile?"

Rev: "I have never done anything like that in my life, surely you have no reason to kill me?"

Lord: "Oh but I have the most devine reason to take your life. Avalon needs it's apples!"

Rev: "My God will send you to Hell for this, you heretic!"

Lord: "Your God is puny. He sits back and watches the genocide of entire races without intervening. Maybe he is scared?"

Rev: "Avalon will not grow it's apples from human sacrifice."

Lord: 'Your opinion is truely venerated, Reverend, but I fear it is utterly untrue!"

Rev: "My God! You really do intend to make a sacrifice to a pagan demon in the hope that it will renew your harvest?"

Lord: "You must feel higly honoured in your contribution to such a deeply religious act."

Rev: "Me? Highly honoured? But I don't intend to be a part of such scandelous activities!"

Lord: "Oh but you do play an important part, Reverend, it's you who are to be sacrificed!"
