But Deliver Us from Evil

CINEMATIC DRAMATIC

MUSIC BEGINS:

PROFESSOR HABERMAN: Wickedness had overtaken

the people of Sodom & Gomorrah to a

point of no return. Its people

were seduced, possessed and

controlled by an ancient evil.

This angered God. God's only

choice was to destroy these

cities to preserve mankind and

all that is good. A man named

Lot, considered by God to be the

last of the righteous, abided in

these wicked cities. God would

not destroy the cities with this

righteous man dwelling within.

Lot and his family were visited

by two strangers... men, not of

this world. These men were to

rescue Lot and those with him

before God destroyed the cities.

Word spread throughout Sodom &

Gomorrah of the visitors'

presence at the home of Lot.

Discerning the impending

danger a visitor signaled Lot.

The wicked men of Sodom and

Gomorrah surrounded the house

and demanded that the two

visitors be released to them,

they may take them and have

them... sexually. Perceiving the

men to be holy angels sent by

God, did all he could to protect

them; even offering his two

daughters instead.

Lilith, the ancient

evil spoke saying...

"Join me

and I will let these men go

freely." One of the visitors

quickly grabbed Lot, "We must

leave now, there is no

redemption for these cities." As

the men of Sodom & Gomorrah

rushed the home the visitors

unleashed blinding rays of

light, enough for Lot and his

family to escape safely as God

completely destroyed the cities.

LEIGH WARRING:
And good evening. I'm

Leigh Warring and, thank you for

joining me. For over 2000 years,

Christians have been trying to

convince the world that their

belief is the only way. You know

every religion has a salesman.

I'm referring to it's religious

leaders. The kickbacks are out

of this world, thanks to you,

the followers.

TV SEGMENT REPORTER: Arrested tonight in

downtown Atlanta, Pastor Avery Malone

of Christlike Ministries. The

married father of 4 was caught

drunk driving on route 402 with

an unidentified woman.

LEIGH WARRING:
But they're selling

you an invisible product.

Something that can't actually be

verified until the day you die.

NEWS ANCHOR ARIEL WINTERS: 12 prominent church

leaders from surrounding counties are under

federal investigation.

These allegations include money

laundering and mail fraud.

But by that time, if

it's proven not to be true...

Sorry no refunds. You're going

to a... paradise, a heaven...

Really?

SHEILAH BELLE:
You say that

Albert Charles is lying about you

being addicted to

prescription drugs...

PASTOR JACOB ALEXANDER: Absolutely and I

have said it time over and over again...

SHEILAH BELLE:
Wait... He...wait, wait...

He even claims when high, you

- participated in sexual acts...

- No...

- With other men...

- No.

...since the early 90's.

No he's trippin'... I've only

had affairs with three women...

Three!?

FIRST LADY ALEXANDER:

What!?

Oh I'm sorry, did I say

three I meant one...

From childhood, we've

been taught over and over again

about fictional stories of men

who knew nothing about science,

chemistry, the solar system or

better yet where the sun goes

at night. Yet, they can tell you

about the afterlife.

Another prominent church leader

in the city of Atlanta has

resigned today over allegations

of hiring male prostitutes.

These places, they

create fear in people, mass

delusion, and we need to rid

ourselves and generations to

come of these fairy tales.

SPORTS REPORTER KATHLEEN: That's

your 3 minute update for sports!

MEGAN STONE:
Thank you Kathleen.
