[We now travel back in time to discover the cause of Knowledgius' sudden and shocking reformation, in hopes of providing a brief intermezzo for all readers to catch their breath before the stunning episode which concerns the Free Thought Enforcer and how it will effect Our Heroes. We also take this break because the Author is not really sure just how the Free Thought Enforcer is to effect our heroes, and wants to go home and take a nap before considering the problem further.]

[Knowledgius Objectivus has just inadvertently set the Auto-Mozumderizer, Auto-Anti-Nomologizer, and Auto-McElwaineizer in a feedback loop and has subsequently lost control of the car, sanity, and bladder.]

Knowledgius:  AAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!

[The Awesome Pubemobile swervs out of control and off the road, into a deep ravine. Trees bend and snap as it crashes to the bottom, where it bursts into flame.]

[Knowledgius comes to shortly afterward to discover himself trapped in the burning Pubemobile.]

[Knowledgius looks around desperately for a means to escape the burning Pubemobile...]

Pubemobile:  When I see how the Atheist Religion has effected the True Religions of Life, I am Sad, and I ask God "Lord, you have shown me how to Access and Post to Usenet, which is a Sewer! Show me how to Make a Nuisance of Myself where I am not Wanted!" And the answer came right back...

      $$ PYRAMID POWER $HOW$ US HOW TO MAKE MONEY $$

    Now we can ALL live JUST LIKE MILLIONAIRES thanks
  to a BREAKTHROUGH by Doctor William Moocow, PhD.
  Dr. Moocow is a LEADING BIOPHYSICIST and author of
  TWO BOOKS on the subject of PYRAMID POWER.

    "People do not UNDERSTAND the AWESOME POWER which
  can be theirs if they just REACH OUT AND SIEZE IT"
  [emphasis added] says Dr. Moocow in his most recent
  book _PYRAMID_SCHEME_.  It reveals TOP SECRET
  government files which PROVE that PYRAMID POWER was
  used to WIN the WAR IN THE GULF!  It reveals all
  the TRUE FACTS about how to construct and use REAL
  PYRAMIDS!

    Widespread COPYING and DISSEMINATION of this
  IMPORTANT INFORMATION is ENCOURAGED.
Pubemobile:  So I began posting my messages to alt.atheism while sitting in a pyramid, and now we see the result! There is serious discussion of whether the FAQ should consider the perplexing "Moocow has a real degree" problem created by Publius.

Pubemobile:  No, there isn't. That which exists can only be explained in terms of that which doesn't. Ah ha! Since you Vile Atheists all say that God Doesn't Exist, we see that this explains everything, and therefore the only explanation is God! You will accept my premise. Resistance is futile.

[Knowledgius stops trying to get out of the Pubemobile and turns to the more pressing problem of shutting the various devices off. Knowledgius presses more buttons...]

Pubemobile:  Auto-McDowellizer activated.

[Knowledgius pauses... his face turning pale as the blood drains in terror...]

Knowledgius:  Oh, shit!

Pubemobile:  The challenge to the Christian Faith has been laid out many times but has never been successfully followed through. We know this because the Christian Faith exists, and therefore it cannot be challenged! Nobody follows through because the Bible says they cannot!

Pubemobile:  You will not Feed your Egos on me by Following Through. Following Through is a Religion. I'll remind you of my definition...
RELIGION: That which someone is doing at any particular time.
Ah ha! So we see that your foolish "Following Through" is meerely grasping for a religion! You will not find it until you accept that you are a block of Cheese Food. Accept it. We will not "discuss" anything until you do.


Pubemobile
      NA$A ADMIT$ MOON I$ MADE OF CHEE$E

    TOP OFFICIALS at NA$A have admitted after YEARS
  of LIES and DECEIT that the moon is indeed made of
  GREEN CHEE$E.  The EVIL, SUPPRESSIVE governments of
  ALL NATIONS fear this notice, and have moved to
  SUPPRESS the TRUTH.

      WHY GOVERNMENTS FEAR THE MOON REVELATION

    A sudden, new source of UNLIMITED FOOD would be
  welcomed by many, but the EVIL SUPPRESSIVE
  governments of the Earth know that this would
  weaken their ABSOLUTE CONTROL over the MINDS of
  their citizens.

    Widespread COPYING and DISSEMINATION of this
  IMPORTANT INFORMATION is ENCOURAGED.
Pubemobile:  How do we know that Cheese exists? We know is because it is mentioned in the Bible by God, and we know God exists because the Bible says so! It is the word of God, and therefore a Primary Source! Ask a lawyer whether or not any other primary source would be believed at face value, and he will tell you it would! This is evidence for the existence of God that would stand up in any court! Therefore God exists. How do we know the Bible is the TRUE word of God? It says so! And since we know God exists, we can assume that He wouldn't let lies be spread in His Bible. Therefore the Bible is the word of God!

[Knowledgius, unable to take the bombardment of illogic, passes out. The Pubemobile drones on, filling Knowledgius' unconscious mind with absolute proof of several contradictory absolute truths...]

[Knowledgius awakes later, after the battery has exploded from the flames and the rantings have subsided, and kicks the windshield out of the Pubemobile. Knowledgius emerges from the flames a new being of no particular race, gender, or sexual orientation, a virtual Phoenix of TRUTH and LIGHT, knowing what must be done. Knowledgius stalks off toward the road, and toward the Atheist Base of Operations, unaware that Publius and Ferret Boy are also headed there...]

[In the next episode we will rejoin Our Heroes on the island of Logis...]
