ACT 5
Escaping Eve's diabolical taunting, the weird yet sublime Patrick made his way to a Kentucky bus station. There, he used the charity of the Catholic Church and bought a bus ticket to Music City; specifically, Nashville. Boarding the "Hound", he took a humble seat at the back of the bus, sitting next to an older man with a shimmering countenance. The elegant individual said his name was Skipper; next, the twosome engaged in conversation, touching upon sports and religion. Like this:
SKIPPER
Ya sir--no matter how smart u be--there's always bigger brains out dere. Like all dem crime lab shows--all a thug gotta do is plant some other blood. A nastee lady might use another's bodily goo from a fella dat scorned her--then, say the one she hates dun rape her. Physical evidence don't mean dat a soul was there.
PATRICK
Earth has been fooled since Eve, Mr. Skipper. Reptiles are shape-shifting demons. Both Genesis and Revelation speak of the serpent and the dragon--they've soiled our empirical, Socratic-like wisdom. What we see is not always what is there. Not to mention altering our genetic code--some even brainstorm that there is a reptilian aspect to the brain, go figure.
SKIPPER
Religion be truth. Know dat stuff. But some be evil.
PATRICK
Nothing against the sublimity of Protestants loving Christ--yet for almost 2 thousand years the Holy Catholic Church has been protecting the Life of Christ; next, it splinters away due to Martin Luther's lack of asceticism. Now, it keeps splintering--more and more aspects of heretical exploration. Some heretics say the Virgin Mary's mystical appearances are demonic, yet only a fool insults the Mother of God. Even Tebow adores his mother--so how much more should we honor and adore Mother Mary?
SKIPPER
Luv me some Tebow.
PATRICK
Myself as well. Pray he stays away from lewd and lascivious ladies.
SKIPPER
How ya getcha so wise boy?
PATRICK
I'm a fool; nonetheless, like the Hebrew People documenting everything, even driving Nietzsche to curiosity, mysticism happened for them due to surrender, which I hope to accomplish myself. Legend says the Torah was offered to many cultures, yet all dismissed it. Then, the Hebrews accepted, and God had His people. Of every soul receiving mystical communication, no matter how fuzzy at times--the Jews get transmitted to best--because they adore God, and document His Divine Information.
