“They think we’re God!” he shouted. “Holy cow!
I’ve gone from punching bag to Heaven’s king!
There’s no way anyone can stop us now.
Let’s give those orders and start conquering!
“Hey, wait a minute: Did you not deny
these things have human ethics? Who’s this One?
Does not religion indicate a tie?
This daughter—is she like Jehovah’s son?”
“That’s blasphemy! If you persist, you’ll roast!
And even if your faith is not in Christ,
I’ll thank you to respect that of your host.
Your talk is rude, no matter how it’s sliced.
“Now here’s your answer: Yes, they have a god.
They made one up to help them standardize
their pattern of response. They need a prod
to reinforce good habits, you realize.”
