It has been ten years since the Masaya died. To the Christians he was the Anti-Christ, and to the Muslims the Dajjal. He knew what the ignorantly religious masses would call him, so he beat them to it. He called himself the Masikh Dajjal in one of the most sarcastic and ironic stunts in contemporary history. In our world the less educated half of the population still believes in the imaginary white bearded man in the sky. They still believe in winged humanoid angels, in red-faced horny demons with goat feet. Worse yet, they still believe in a life after death, where children get sent to a fiery hell place to be roasted for eternity because they did not do the right bows, did not recite the right words, or did not call the right names; and they call him the “Imposter”. The irony. They went as low as shaming him for his deformed eye. He went as far as tattooing the word Kafir on his own forehead, to reflect their backward thinking back at them.

To the rest of us, intellectual ones, he was a savior. The Masaya. A savior from ignorance, superstition, and antient ways. Before him no one had ever thought it would be possible to finally eradicate religion. Once and for all. All religions. He even used their own delusions against them. He performed acts, which they believed only their gods can do. He studied all their religions, and all their ‘end of times’ prophecies, then played them all in his act. That is what it was. An act. The best act of all time. A genius mixture of mysticism, science, engineering, technology, and even, as some would argue, magic. His work was so integrated that it baffled the biggest experts of each field. Not even the greatest minds of our time could figure out some of his tricks.

He mesmerized half of the world population. He drew crowds by the millions. Women would pass out screaming a soon as he stepped onto the stage. Teenage girls would run away from home to follow his tours. Soccer moms, and middle age house wives would get divorced to vow their everlasting love for him. He was a mixture between of Elvis, Michael Jackson, and the Beatles. With triple the charm. The best part was that most of his rallies did not include any music or magic. They were just speeches. Electrifying, marvelous speeches. Sometimes political, and sometimes spiritual, but essentially, they were just speeches. Within a year his crowds alone were enough of an army to conquer the world. But when the white Anglo Saxon protestant evangelicals of the US accepted him as their returning Jesus, and had him elected president of the united states of America. It was the beginning of a new era in human history.

He started with eradicating religion out of every textbook, law, and piece of legislation in the developed world. He legalized all previously prohibited “Sin products”. He brought the progressive agenda to a whole new level. Nothing was taboo anymore. He then turned to the uneducated half of the world and used financial pressure to force their governments into criminalizing religion and all religious activities; under his “no more terrorism” campaign. Most of the upper classes in those countries conformed immediately, as if they had been waiting for him to happen. Most of the educated classes and middle classes tried faking it at first to keep their jobs, but gave in soon after. Some intellectuals continue to fight his ideology until today. Even people we used to think were on our side, turned out surprisingly religious. The working classes and the poor, however, were the hardest to convince. They were the ones who fought to the bitter end.

Terrorist groups started springing up all around the world in pour and underdeveloped areas. The vast majority of them were Muslim Fundamentalist extremists Terrorists. They caused some rubble here and there. Nevertheless, his innovation in the military transportation industry, and air force technology made hunting them down seam like shooting fish in a barrel. Until, that is, the terrorist group known as Jaishul Mahdi took advantage of the power vacuum in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and took over Mecca, and Al Madinah. That seamed to revive a spark of hope in the hearts of the religious masses. Religious folk from all religions, races, and ethnicities saw that as their last chance against the fast spreading secular world. Some went as far as converting to Islam.

He promised us that it will be the last fight, after which we will never have to explain to our children what religion is. Nor will we ever worry about their minds being poisoned by the evil of religions and “God”. He hunted them down, all around the middle east, until he caught them in a mosque, in east Damascus. Intelligence showed that even their leader Abu Abdallah Mohammed Al Hashemi, also known as Al Mahdi, was surrounded there with them. He vowed to lead the final strike personally. Then the unexpected happened. The Dajjal was assassinated.

Up to that point no one had ever heard of the terrorist Abu Mariam Essa Al Nasseri, also known as Al Maseeh. Not even the worlds most powerful intelligence agencies. It was as if he appeared out of thin air. Once again hope would be blown into the hearts of the uneducated religious masses. Some went as far as calling Al Maseeh, the real Masaya. The actual Jesus returning after two thousand years from the kingdom of heaven. Unfortunately, things have only gotten worse from there.

The rise of the Indochinese coalition destroyed most of the world, in World War III. The religious fanatics saw that as a confirmation of their ridiculous beliefs; calling the coalition armies Ya’jouj and Ma’jouj. They still believe that the famine which broke the coalition armies was a result of their “prayers”. They celebrated the death of the terrorist Al Maseeh as another sign of the apocalypse. They even celebrated the spread of Covid61 as “the holy Cold Wind from the East” or rapture. According to them, only the faithful will be killed by it, and the rest of us are completely safe from it. They continue to refuse to take the vaccine, because it is controlled by The Dajjal Foundation.

Now, they claim that a cow is teleporting around the world stamping people’s foreheads with its hoof, marking them as Mu’min or Kafir. Believer and non-believer. They believe that this is the end. No cosmological signs, no geological sign, and no biological signs; just faith. Members of the same family would choose sides by stamping their won foreheads, and claiming that the magical cow did it. The believers do it to somehow fake evidence of their ridiculous beliefs, and non-believers do it out of spite. They even believe that the same teleporting cow, will kill ‘Satan’. The original red faced horny demon with goat feet.

It has been ten years since he died, yet religion, God, and all the ignorant superstitions still live on. The last hope that humanity has in surviving them, is Covid 61. It has already reaped the lives of almost 20% of the world’s population; 95% of which was religious. The Dajjal Foundation is using the latest surveillance, and citizen ranking AI technology, to screen vaccine candidates. Hopefully, soon enough the foundation will finish the work that he started.

This Article was written as a satire of what an athiest Journalist, would write ten years after Jesus/Essa PBUH defeats the Anti-Christ/Dajjal. We already live in a world were religion is being mocked, and ridiculed like this. Most of the world already thinks like this. Most of the world would follow, and believe in the Dajjal, if he were to appear in our time. Finally, this piece of satire did not mean to offend or mock any religious figures, or beliefs. It was only meant to mock the world we live in today, and the truth bending media that tells it what to think.
