Where Ideas come from Chapter 3

Chapter 3


The boy continued on his way, until he came across what appeared to be a VERY small village, VERY VERY Small!
In fact, if it wasn't for the sign that said "Welcome to out small village" he would have just assumed it was some tables around a church.
He walked in and saw two people playing Connect 4 "I wouldn't have expected people playing Connect 4 in this place" the boy though, since Connect 4 was rather modern.
As he got closer, he noticed that the bottom was gone, the two men were just dropping the pieces through and they were just falling back down into the pile because the bottom was reset.

"Um.. Excuse me, but you didn't reset the bottom" Said the boy politely.

"Urrghh..." Said one of them.
"Huh?" Said the other.

Another man passed by and the boy asked him "Whats with those two?"
"Oh don't mind them, one of them too lazy to reset the bottom, the other too ignorant to realize it doesn't reset itself" replied the man, as he walked away.
To boy walked away as well, he then saw another pair of people playing Chess, Except all of the pieces were the same color.
"How do you know whose piece is whose?" Asked the boy, "We have good enough memory to remember our own moves" said one of the players.
The boy watch, 3D to E4, A6 to A7 X7 to M2. E4 to E5, the boy realized that they weren't even close to playing chess properly, plus he just moved the guys piece.
there isn't even an X7 or M2! The boy walked away.

The boy decided to check out the church, he couldn't tell what religion it represented from the outside.

When went in he asked the first person he saw what religion this church represented, "Why! It's the Church of Holidology! A religion where we celebrate Holidays as Gods!" Answered the enthusiastic man, "But aren't Holidays from other religions?" asked the boy "We celebrate our own Holidays" answered the man, the boy sat down and watched the sermon.

The priest began, "Today is a glorious day! For today is Donate to the Church day! So let us all Donate all our life savings to the church!" Preached the Preacher.

"Oh boy! It's Donate to the Church Day again! I love this Holiday!" Said the enthusiastic man.
And all the people(Except the boy) in the church ran up and donated their money, the Boy was bewildered as to why the church needs money, or as to why the church celebrates holidays as Gods and makes it's own Holidays, and looking at a pamphlet, all the holidays were about donating to the Chuch, it seemed rather wasteful.


After the sermon, the boy walked up to the priest and asked "Why does the Church need money?", The Priest replied "We don't! but the gods say we should!" "But in this religion the holidays are the gods, and holidays are decided by religions and governments, and there doesn't seem to be any government around here unless you count the church, So really you, the only Priest, just say when it's a holiday, and that everybody should donate money! Which doesn't even look like it's real money! it's money given out by the church in return for volunteer work, which consists solely of collecting money on holidays! This is the most pointless religion I've ever seen!" The boy ranted back.

And you can imagine that with that such behavior he was labeled a heretic and kicked out of the Village, which like the boy thought, was nothing but the church and two tables for people to play games on.

"I didn't really want to be in that church anyways" The boy said to himself, as he walked away, "Even if I did ask them where Ideas come from, they wouldn't know, they wouldn'tknow an idea if it appeared right in front of them" he thought to himself, and he then continued to walk in whatever which direction.
