He looks at you with an expression of terror.

"The Lord Jesus Christ appeared in the midst of our
 hamlet.  With a smile and a wave he destroyed the
 entire village!  I alone survived!

 These Demons that I thought the children of Satan have
 given me food and a bed.  They have tended my wounds
 and shown great compassion, not at all like the fell
 monsters that the Church warned us of!

 It seems to me now as if the LORD is filled with cruelty
 and malice, and His enemies kind and merciful!

 I know not what to believe!"

"Yes, He did.. but, No!  I cannot say it!

 It is blasphemous!"

"It was a rhyme!  He stood amid the burning houses and
 the bodies of the dead children, and He laughed!

 And then He said:

 "Jesus' hands are kind hands, Jesus' hands are cruel,
  Jesus is a genius, Jesus is a fool,

  Jesus is the Dark One, Jesus is the LORD,
  Jesus puts the heretics to fire and the Sword!"

 And then He saw me, and I feared greatly for my life,
 but He faced me, saying:

  "See to it that no man hears of this."

 And then He faded away!"

"He was glowing!  His body was luminous and slightly
 transparent as if He was a ghost.. But he was solid,
 for He handed me a small piece of parchment, which 
 bore the words 'MATTHEW 10:34'.

 I know the litanies of the Bible by heart, and I know
 this verse.  It is something that Jesus Himself said to
 his Disciples:

  "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to Earth.
   I have come not to bring peace, but war.

   I shall set man against father, daughter against
   mother, and the in-laws too shall fight each other."


 I have seen this with my own eyes!"

..in the centre of the village is a circle of scorched earth where
everything has been annihilated, but the words "Jesus was 'Ere")
are spelled out of the charred bones of the villagers.
