All those churches in every town are proof of persecution [View all]
of Christians. They are forced to hide their worship in fortress-like buildings with Windows that block the view from without. Inside, their secret rituals involve incantations from ancient tests. In some, ancient languages prevent outsiders from learning their secrets.
The indoctrination of their children also takes place in closed chambers, using secretive measures to disguise their methods. Ancient stories are told, using symbolic figures which somehow adhere to a cloth background. They can quickly be removed if marauding persecutors invade.
Strange music emerges from chambers though pipes full of air, and all know the secret melodies and words.
All this secrecy is needed to conceal what transpires within those walls, since hordes of non-believers wait outside to profane their rituals or break into their safe places and destroy everything. Yes, Christians face persecution. Only secrecy and camouflage can prevent destruction.
Wait.. is that right? Hmm...
