To us, they were merely worshipping false gods and simply wasting their time and energy. And to propitiate these gods, we are even more capable of wasting huge resources and making huge sacrifices. We are even able to commit greater genocide and wage bloody wars to protect these gods; so complete is our faith that these gods rather protect us and serve our purposes. Thus, if there were any difference in those gods of the ancestors and those gods of our modern time, the difference would be more in terms of the naming of these gods and nothing else. If the messengers prophesy good times and bad times ensue, they request for gifts to propitiate the gods; and if they prophesy evil times and good times ensue, they request for gifts in thanksgiving to the gods.
