24- The Second Christianing


Eli confronts Daniel about the $5 000 he promised the church. Daniel lashes out, smacking him around, and finally calls him out on his "profession".

"Aren't you a healer!? And a vessel for the Holy Spirit!? When are you coming over to make my son hear again! Can't you do that!?"

He then drags Eli down to the oil field and slaps oil in his face. It's less of a Christianing than it is a full fledged baptism. Daniel knows he's a fake, he knows that his church is a fraud. He knows Eli is in it for nothing more than the money, which is why he hates him so. He rubs the true wealth in Eli's face, he lets Eli know that he's the winner.

"I'm going to bury you underground, Eli."

There it is, the second threat. This time against Eli, instead of Paul. Let's see how this plays out.
