for Pride, Guilt and Shame: The Destruction of a Saint8/27/2019 c1

And, since theologians disagree on whether you can lose your salvation, convince humans that if they are confident of being 'once saved, always saved,' then they are guilty of complacency and will probably turn into psychopathic serial killers like Robert in 'Confessions of a Justified Sinner' and are almost certainly damned - but that if they ever have doubts over whether they are saved, then they are guilty of pride and trying to earn their own salvation and are almost certainly damned. And that if they trust in God's love, and don't regard him as a terrible monster and scream in terror at the thought of spending eternity with him, then they don't fear him properly, and are therefore almost certainly damned. And that Jesus is going to come and bring justice by separating out the righteous (i.e. himself, as he says, 'No-one is good except God,') from the wicked (i.e. everyone else who has ever lived, as the Bible says, 'there is no-one who does not sin,') and sending all of us to hell - and that if we aren't eager for this to happen, and wish Jesus really was the loving saviour we had been taught to believe in as children, it just proves how very, very wicked we are and how much we deserve to be damned...
Or does stuff like that only work on me?

This is a very well-written fic, in keeping with the original, and it's a shame that nobody's reviewed it before now. I particularly like that even though it's told entirely in dialogue, you put in some (funny and clever) hints toward actions, like Aspergillus trying to get Mycolis to stop kissing his just-blackened boots. Nicely done!
