THEY WERE CRIMINALS!
Actually, they just couldn’t understand you oh, Serendipitous Light of Creation, They could not comprehend in their limited human limitationy thingy, how it was possible that a good and loving god such as yourself, my liege of hosts and all that, could possibly be the angry, crazy, rotwieler, rampaging god who…
I WILL KILL THEM ALL.
….and so they felt that they had to assume that there were two gods, your eminenticle tremendousness. One good and kind and and wise and beautiful, oh sweet lord, a vision of fantabulous you know perfumed bowers and that, and another, wicked and cruel. Full of hate and….
I WILL KILL THEM ALL.
And so in your infinite kindness and mercy oh lord you…killed them, oh God.
I WILL KILL THEM ALL.
even the babies…
I WILL KILL THEM ALL.
