Way back in 1988 Pat Robertson ran for president and it scared the bejesus out of me. The whole religious right still terrifies me. I've always said that if fascism comes to America it will be through the pulpit. The year 1984 had passed with all its references to George Orwell's book and it got me wondering if in the future the religious right won the day what would America look like in 2084? Abortion would not only be a capital offense, pregnancy would be mandatory for married women of child-bearing age. I started the story from the viewpoint of a mason working on the cathedral project for the Pastor Governor of the Great Christian State of Kansas. The book came into shape creating a boy with a remarkable memory for Bible verses.
