“‘Therefore, God, the Master, says:“‘Because you’re acting like a god,pretending to be a god,I’m giving fair warning: I’m bringing strangers down on you,the most vicious of all nations.They’ll pull their swords and make hashof your reputation for knowing it all.They’ll puncture the balloonof your god-pretensions.They’ll bring you down from your self-made pedestaland bury you in the deep blue sea.Will you protest to your assassins,“You can’t do that! I’m a god”?To them you’re a mere mortal.They’re killing a man, not a god.You’ll die like a stray dog,killed by strangers—Because I said so.Decree of God, the Master.’”
