War of Words

------------ Fi -------------

On Christmas morning, the Seeders and the Council of Eden sat around the table listening intently to the handheld radio, as Dr. Lawson gave his holiday address. He spent the first twenty minutes of his speech focused on the story of the birth of Jesus. For a moment Fi thought that they might have been overly concerned. They knew that Lawson was going to be giving a big speech today, and that all of his listeners would be tuned in. Surely he would use this day and this platform to strengthen his stance?

Of course, at only twenty minutes in, she knew that he was just getting started. None of the rest of the group had listened to Dr. Lawson’s sermons in their entirety, mostly because the majority of them found his diatribes too hard to swallow. If they had, they would have realized that he rarely sermonized for less than an hour. It wasn’t until about forty-five minutes into his address that Lawson changed course and reverted to his usual topics.

“It is our responsibility, dear Truthers, to ensure that God’s word is law in this new world. Our forebears made the mistake of putting their own words and their own laws above His and we have all suffered the consequences of their hubris. The flashy neon glow of science and technology tempted us, and drew us away from our true inner light. That is why you must reject the doctrine and offerings of Eden and their Seeders.”

Fi inhaled sharply, along with everyone else in the room. It was the first time that she had heard Lawson go after the Seeders.

“They are roaming the countryside, spreading their false prophecy and giving out poisoned seed. Any seed that comes from a scientist, rather than God and his great creation, Nature, is a LIE.

But these seeds are from Nature! she fumed.

That is why we must shut down the stations and the Seeders. Our followers have learned a lot about these Seeders. Some say that there are only three or four of them, some say that there are many such small groups.”

Fi snorted. She wished! If only they could have many Seeding groups out there…imagine what they could accomplish in a summer.

“Regardless of how many they number, we know for certain that one of them carries a sword on his back.”

“What?” Fi cried, and then clapped her hand over her mouth. Her blood went cold. “They know you, Ash,” she breathed, her stomach tightening. Luc was right, she thought, recalling his warning. They were conspicuous. But still, what was Lawson trying to say?

In the background, behind their worried murmurs, Lawson rolled on. “If you see the Seeders, it is your job as Truthers to try to thwart their mission. You know that we do not engage in violence because that is not His will, but if you were to destroy their supplies, or rout their plantings, you would be doing Him a great service. As it says in the Bible, ‘For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.
