The Underground Church
"We of the Underground Church have no cathedrals. But is any cathedral more beautiful than the sky of heaven to which we looked when we gathered secretly in forests? The chirping of the birds took the place of the organ. The fragrance of the flowers was our incense.

Everything in this world is doomed. Everything in this world is evil and dark, even us humans. We are out of control. The entire world is doomed to Hell because of all the wrong we did. We fall for lies and commit crimes. But half the world knows that its wrong, but ask "How do we stop from getting eternal death?"
In the past, we have committed so much sin that we have been separated from God. We weren't listening and decided to do things our way. We have sinned way too much and went against God's word. We kept doing all the wrong like no ones business. But once we have heard that sinning leads to eternal death, we do everything
