Yes, everything will be alright, except for the slightly inconvenient fact that precisely nothing about the scenario is alright. I'd be rather more impressed if this messed-up messiah had stepped out of hiding and taken the bullets that supposedly ended two people's lives and destroyed a third before delivering his platitude and getting back up onto his stick. In fact, if that version of the story actually happened and was verified by everyone concerned, I would be so impressed that I might even convert on the spot; because at last we would have real-world confirmation of the kind of miraculous intervention that only ever seems to happen in the stories that, worryingly, impress the credulous and easily led.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
