They were atoms -- nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?

The kingdom of God in the teachings of Jesus was not an apocalyptic or heavenly projection of otherworldly desire.

And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.
