The Wrath of God

(Pops – Episode 10)

{INT. SITTING ROOM – NIGHT}

Sam and Josh are listening to a preacher on the television.

Suddenly, Pops opens the door and walks in.

POPS

Sam and Josh, what are you guys doing?

SAM

Listening to a sermon, Pops.

JOSH

Please come and join us.

POPS

Why?

JOSH

Because it’s our pastor.

SAM

One of the best preachers in the world.

POPS

Ok, let me just watch for three minutes.
(sits in between Sam and Josh)

PASTOR

(over the Television)
Do not allow the wrath of God to fall upon you because it is dangerous.

POPS

(within himself)
Does God have a rat?

PASTOR

(through the Television)
The wrath of God fell on Pharoah and the Egyptians when they refused to let the Israelites go to their promised land.

POPS

Jesus Christ!

SAM

(smiles)
I told you, he’s the best preacher.

PASTOR

(over the Television)
The wrath of God fell on the people of Sodom and Gomorrah and their cities were doomed. Brethren, let us fear God so that he will not release his wrath upon us.

POPS

(offs the television)
Wait!

SAM

What is it?

JOSH

Why interrupt this interesting sermon?

POPS

Is that man your pastor?

SAM AND JOSH

(in unison)
Yes of course!

POPS

Change that church!

JOSH

Why?

POPS

That man is confused. In fact, he doesn’t know what he is saying and if he knows, then he’s deceiving his followers.

SAM

How?

POPS

Among all the creatures in the world, God sent common rat upon the Egyptians and Pharoah. Common rodent!

JOSH

Yes?

POPS

I mean, what happened to his angels?

JOSH

The man is right. God sent frogs and pests upon the Egyptians!

SAM

You see? Hehehe…
(confidently)
The pastor didn’t bother to mention the frogs or pests because God’s rat is the most dangerous creatures that can destroy a whole city. Sodom and Gomorrah is a good example!

JOSH
