While watching Finney and Sergio training in the pugilistic arts, Billy heard Mistihkoman say, [i]"Is this some kind of story about some great man? It sounds strange. Strange words. This story."[/i]

“Not strange at all, Misty Komen,” Billy spoke with a western Illinois accent. “Mr. Sergio was reading the bible. In Latin, an old language from the old world, the word bible means, [i]book[/i]. In other words, the bible is THE BOOK. This is the story about the son of God. Unlike how you pray, Christians believe in one God who created everything in our world and everyone on the planet. He then sent his only son to live amongst man for one purpose. His purpose was to die on a cross for the forgiveness of man’s sins. The man’s name was Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ. He had several followers including his mother, Mary and twelve friends or disciples who wrote down on parchment about their experiences with God’s only son, Jesus. The written word on the experiences of Jesus are recorded in the book. Yes, he was a great man. He remains a great man in the Kingdom of Heaven. He died for all our sins regardless of whether you or anyone believes in him or God. He is still there. He waits in Judgement for his brothers and sister to enter the gates of heaven. When you die, you go to his Kingdom in heaven; The Kingdom of the Lord, Hallelujah!” One could say Billy was a most pious man.
