Becoming a God

A priest from a bare dusty road picked up a stone to install as God in his home while other stones stared. They murmured and grumbled "He is just like an ordinary stone like us."

At least stones do not kill one another. With humans, one religion thinks they are the true one, you, avoid you They are more than willing to kill you, even your kids And no, I’m not kidding. Americans are in a war but deny it. It happened already on New Year’s Eve in New Orleans.. It was the announcement that ISIS is here and Hamas. Anyone not believing in Allah will have their head cut off or be torn apart And all other countries! Pangiexx

Right to the point there, Akham. Every bit as impactful as the story of Abraham smashing the idols in his father Terach's idolatry shop.
