At the Last Battle, Armageddon, robot troops were sent out by the generals against Satan’s army.

A priest asked to fight, but they wouldn’t let him, because humans are too weak and insignificant compared to the robots.

The machines defended the ground fearlessly. Even crushed and warped by the forces of Evil, they fought bravely. The robots managed to break through the enemy’s front lines and defeated Satan’s forces.

The generals hoped they would soon see the Creator himself. They saw Grace walking across the battlefield.

The mangled robots began to rise into the air. God took them to heaven.

The generals cried out that a mistake had been made, for robots had no place in heaven, it was up to humans to see God.

They hurried to the battlefield. But there was no one there.
