And then confessed to them a great truth! He never believed there was.
Would any of them abandon him even though they INSIST it was GOD who sent dumb don to save them?
It would be quite weridly bizarre peculiar queer and odd to hold both thoughts rigidly.
That dumb don said there is no GOD and that the base insists it was GOD who sent dumb don to them for their salvation.
On the other hand why do those two things have to be reconciled? People hold opposite ideas all the time. People are hypocrites. People have logic-tight compartments and bifurcated brains so both can be true for them.
Question is how do they react to the dumb don pronouncement "there is no GOD"?
They rely on him for all truth. Now they are conflicted. Which do they give up?
