Editing Monotheists: A Passing Fad, Nothing More

[[Image:Monotheists A Passing Fad, Nothing More.jpg|thumb|[[Soldiers of the One|STO]] won't last.]]
'''Monotheists: A Passing Fad, Nothing More''' is a ''[[The Caprican]]'' Opinion article written by [[Ralston Sinclair]]. It was printed in [[Ianuarius]] 12, [[YR42]].

== Story ==

Someone recently set off a smoke bomb just outside of [[Goldie's Off Track Betting]], and the public is blaming the monotheists.

The [[Metropolitan Levitation Mass Transit|MAGLEV train]]s have been running fewer and farther between lately, and the public is pointing fingers at the monotheists.

A cat gets stuck in a tree, and the public yells the Monads scared it up there.

Be calm.  

The recent monotheist resurgence is just that - a surge. And a surge is nothing more than a brief movement forward, the key word being brief. Just like a decade ago when the "[[Soldiers of the One]]," commonly called the STO, had their moment in the suns. But they faded into obscurity and so too will these monotheists. So when the [[Monad Church|Monad]] zealots knock on your doors on Sunday morning, be nice. When a proselyte at the spaceport stops you, smile and pass by calmly. You see, you know something they don't: Their time in the spotlight is but a fleeting one.

These are nothing more than a small sub culture of fundamentalists, most of them teenagers, rebelling against their upbringing because it's trendy.  They believe in "[[God (RDM)|One True God]]" because it's trendy.  And, like most trends, it will pass in time.  Are they really hurting anybody? Not really. They're more of an annoyance. Monotheists are harmless, barely worth a mention in our cultural consciousness.  In fact, a year from now, no one will even remember what all the fuss was about.

You empower them with this paranoid nonsense, for the gods' sake.  Take heed, friends.  Take heed!
