Anon has only seen one movie the audience can affect the plot during the show, it sucked and still had many limitations. The more we believe the veneer, the more we get sucked in to disbelief in that good wins over evil. This is the reason we were told to sit back.
Anon's been told by god to put a weapon away. He was prepping for an inevitable intrusion and fight, so he grabbed his dirk. But after the angelic voice gave instruction of "put it away and there will be no bloodshed", anon did as instructed. The intruder came in and immediately did the most damage to property and items around anon, but when it came to strikes, each blow was landing with the impact of a feather pillow. Guns, nukes, knives, barehands, no matter what comes for anon, if god says there will be no blood, there will be no blood.
