Lo, let the words of the worshippers’ of the Fire priest testify to their madness! For these which I, Ga’al, overheard when I did sneak to the vicinity of their gord.
He did say:
What are the gods? And what are men? Some are the creators of the worlds, whilst the others – their flock! So are people the flock of the gods, as men are gods to the animals? For do they not breed them for their own gain and rule over them in life and in death?
Yet, more powerful than animals are men! They know how to bargain with the gods, how to outwit them and make them fear. For behold, the man did take hold of the flames, raise them from the stones, and kill it with water. ‘Twas man who made Fire a god, turned him against those who made men their flock, and made him join with those who gave the men game, plants, and springs of water. Here is man! Carrying a flaming torch, using it to burn new paths, and to devour enemies!
Praise man! Praise the Fire!
