Yep. All of them. They’re considered a joke at first, but things get a lot more serious when they elect a Pope to run the US. China holds out for a while, but things turn south for them when they legalize conversion to the White Lords’ Church faith.

So yeah. Jesus was brought back to life by an alien. Muhammad spoke to an alien named Gabriel. The Buddha is actually an alien inhabiting a human body (they can do that in the story).

We’re on course to becoming the White Lords’ Church from the VN White or Black.

In that world, Trump is dead by the 2030s. Unrest and political troubles killed an alien attempting to make first contact. But religious MAGA, looking for a leader, decides to support the aliens. They claim that the aliens are angels sent by God, pointing to various events in the Bible as clear evidence of their influence. And then, since the people are eager to overthrow Musk, they decide to sign up with the aliens. Musk and his buddies are all dead/converted when the Church assumes control of the US in the late 2060s/early 2070s. And then they take over everything else by the start of the 22nd century.

The Church is Gilead if they favored Brave New World over 1984. And they’re a lot more stable, and rule a lot longer than Gilead, lasting until the 27th century at least.

I wonder what a cage match between Trump and a locust from the Book of Revelation would look like.

It is legal for prisoners to be enslaved - perhaps you missed that little gotcha in the amendment.

If the goal of prison isn’t to turn criminals into better citizens, then why not put all prisoners in a hard labor camp?
