Chapter Eighteen

“Welcome, students.”

Sam Green stood before his 13 hand-picked disciples, ten men and three women, intense young adults gathered for the first meeting of the Church of Nameless Disorder.

Sam wore a long black robe, head freshly shaven, invigorated by his new identity and purpose in life. To create a space for ceremonies and rituals, he had painted his basement black, covered the windows with black curtains and filled the room with candles. Scott, the juvenile delinquent from his religious education class, had helped Sam in identifying the area’s most troubled lost souls to start a following. Sam interviewed each candidate individually—in bars, fast food restaurants, coffee houses, even the public library—to assess their potential.

The chosen 13 represented the best of the best; a collection of disillusioned young people who could be trusted and influenced, owners of vulnerable minds who did not have better options in life.

Sam began his inaugural sermon with a receptive audience seated in two rows of folding chairs, ready to believe. “The world is an ugly place,” he said, standing before them. “You know it, I know it. We live it. When the world pounds down on us, day after day, it is easy to turn to fantasy for escape. We get so desperate we’ll believe anything. We fantasize about going to paradise after we die. If we withstand all the pain and all the idiots and all the unfairness of life, if we are kind to our enemies and tormentors, if we live a life of ‘good’ and we do it with big, happy grins on our faces, then we will be rewarded. That reward is a golden ticket to a place called heaven. Isn’t it ironic that to earn life after death you must deaden yourselves while alive? To be accepted into God’s kingdom, we must become obedient zombies, crushing our individual spirit to conform to a single, unthinking mass. We must be servants of organized religion and sacrifice our free will. Instead of living life, we surrender it. That is wrong. The Church of Nameless Disorder gives back your individual freedoms. Demonstrate your liberation in ways that are provocative, shocking and disruptive. Shake the world loose from this passive belief of predestined fate. We will not serve someone else’s definition of good. We will define what is good. And good is evil, the only truth going back to the beginning of time. We are returning to our roots. Answer to your id. Embrace the chaos. Create new chaos. Demonstrate your power to take, to hurt, to destroy.”

He moved to an area of the floor covered with small white rocks in the shape of a five-pointed star surrounded by larger stones forming a circle around it. “Today I am asking for your commitment. Once you commit, there is no turning back. You will become a lifelong member. You will no longer be oppressed. You will elevate out of the shit where you currently dwell.”

Sam walked to a far side of the room and knelt down at a small cage with a handle, the kind used to transport small pets.
