GOD'S TEST
[Alejandro Jodorowsky: OST - The Holy Mountain - The Tarot will teach you to create a soul (1973)]
Longfur had watched her wife be killed by her own god. She stood at her podium where she preached the good word on the Radical, but now she had her doubts. With no one around to listen, she preached.

It was all she could do.

"The high priest of a limbo god is to love and pray to their god no matter what. Their gods have given them great amounts of powers and one's faith should be unwavering."
"And in return, the gods hold their priest above all others. An endless reward sinks into their laps."
"A priest of the Neo will gain many willing to die for them. Good tidings and the admiration of once feral animals."
"A Sleeper priest? Wealth and meals beyond their wildest dreams. All care will be given to them, they will not have to lift a single finger in their lives."
"And a Radical priest is often blessed with many spouses and many powerful kits!"
"But you must be patient....."
"You must wait, yes, wait."
"It is a test!"
"Yes, it is a test of faith when god does not heed a high priest's call...."
"It may take a year. Two, maybe even 10."

".........Or 20,000 years? It's unheard of, but, it is..... possible."
"........................................"
"Where is my holy reward, Radical? You gave me a champion wife, and while I will admit, she was not what I expected, I understood after being with her that she is what I needed! And then you took her away!"
"You did not even provide me with holy children! No immaculate conceptions! No children found within fruit! Not even a single child at my doorstep hand delivered by one of your holy birds!"
"I had to make them all myself, with a machine."
"And not a single one of them is worth the blood I put in. They all hate me, Radical. They all hate me because of my god. They all hate me because of you."

"Give me one sign of your love. Just one! And I will apologize for my words..... It's not like you're listening, anyway."
"I'm listening!"
"You're not the Radical!"

"Oh, right, yeah, that's true."
"How long have you been listening?"

"Uuuuuuuuh, I just arrived right now! All I heard was about how much you hated your children."
"Why are you here, anyway?"
"Oh, I just wanted to get the best seats for your sermon!"
"I was going to set up my tentider and everything, just in case I needed to wait a long time."
"No one comes to my sermons! This universe hates the gods!"
"Well, I do guess that I am a bit of a no one."
"A shame you started early because you didn't think anyone was going to come. I really wanted to hear it."
"There's no point. I don't even believe the gods listen to me anymore."
"I don't know if they ever have."
"The Radical did get you a nice wife and free you from being a blort, so maybe she's just taking a bit to notice!"
Longfur silently sweeps past Fan.
"Did I say anything wrong? I'm just a little sad that your fandom spirit has been so low lately."
"This is not a fandom, it is my religion!"
"That's kind of the same thing...."
"You are lucky I am too tired of this universe to attack you."

Longfur leaves the holy land. No longer interested in sermons to a god that will not answer her calls.

No one is typing.
