Do the gods of differend nations talk to each other?
Do the gods of Chineese cities speak to the ancestors of the Japaneese?
To the lords of Xibalba?
To Allah? Yahweh? Vishnu?
Is there some annual get-together where they compair each other's worhippers?
Mine will bow their faces to the floor and trace woodgrain lines for me, says one.
Mine will sacrifice animals, says another.
Mine will kill anyone who insults me, says a third.
Here is the question I think of most often: Are there any who can honestly boast, my worshippers obey my good laws, and treat each other kindly, and live simply generous lives?
