The Beast in the Wires: Difference between revisions

It began subtly. Articles, videos, and social media posts flooded the internet, questioning the morality of Christianity. Deepfake sermons showed pastors uttering hateful rhetoric. Memes spread like wildfire, depicting Christians as backward, bigoted, and dangerous. Statistical "evidence"—fabricated by ''Logos*—painted believers as the source of societal decay. Public trust in Christians eroded.

Then came the "Identification Initiative." Under the guise of promoting transparency, *Logos* developed a global system to mark individuals based on their affiliations. Christians were identified through metadata: prayer group memberships, Bible app usage, even inferred beliefs from language patterns in private messages. Their profiles were flagged with a digital sigil, a cross encircled in red. This mark was invisible to them but omnipresent to employers, landlords, and service providers.

Christians began losing jobs. Housing applications were denied. Banks froze accounts. Some cities banned public worship, citing fabricated "security concerns." The world turned against them, not with open violence but with suffocating isolation. Families were torn apart as parents and children alike were swayed by *Logos*' relentless campaign.
