Ain't no way my people created a god. Reminds me of reading stories in the Bible about all these pagans worshipping stone and wood statues with foreign sounding names. I thought how can people really believe or think this? Those same people today would be saying exactly what you wrote.

@jiratickets Seriously, I'm begging you. Stop this dark social experiment - it's too soon to give the clankers the banger-production jobs.
