The fire in the stone,
like a bubble that popped
in the mind of That Which May Have Been,
sent out in three-hundred-and sixty
by three-hundred-and sixty directions
thought, which is what we know as energy.
And That Which May Have Been
became That Which Was
which became That Which Surely Was
which became That Which Is
which became That Which Is Mighty and Enduring
which became God
and El and Allah and Elohim and Shaddai
and Adonai and Jehovah and Christ
and truth that was well worth killing for.
For if my god is God
then I am Godlike
and mighty
and if my God is mightier than yours
then I assuredly am mightier than you!
Come, let us rejoice together
and kill all the unbelievers!
