13. Who's God? The God of whoever's ruling the country, of course

Society at large determines the predominant absolute truths. If you're living in Saudi Arabia, God is Allah and Mohammed is His prophet. If you're living in the USA, it's New Testament Yahweh, aka Jesus. If you're living in Israel, it's Yahweh Classic. If you live in Thailand, it's Gautama Buddha for you. If you live in India or Nepal, you'll surely become acquianted with the multifaceted Hindu pantheon. If you're in China, welcome to the Divine Grace of Mao's Communist Party.

Each and every one of them is a-okay with all manner of unnecessary extra-curricular death. See, sometimes things get out of hand, and people have to die in messy and unpredictable ways. Feel free to attribute said murders to any and/or all of the gods, if it helps you cope or make a point. Whoever said religion wasn't flexible and accomodating?
