It was a normal day for the preacher. He had those ignorant, false-god worshiping, false-religion following, yet-to-be saved people listen to his true words like lizards stuck to the wall. No, they weren't the lizards and nor was he the wall - probably, the opposite was truer, but let us not get into the unnecessary details. He held their rapt attention. He condemned their gods, told them how irrational was it to believe in stuff that was too magical to be true, brushed aside a question on the thin line of difference between magical stories that can be believed and that cannot be believed, offered them heaven, salvation, and a horde of other things, and finally, gave them a 'I am here to save you' smile.
"God sees everything", he said patronizingly, as if he were the god, "Every word you speak, every move that you make, every thought that you think, every vision that you have, every sight that you see, every action that you take.. God sees everything. Live by HIS rules, not someone who is false. Love HIM. Not someone who does not exist. You cannot escape him. You cannot deny him. He is your master. He is your king. He is your father. He is the true GOD. And, he sees, hears, feels, smells everything that you do!"
Vinayaka Rama woke up from his small siesta. He blinked, wondered if there was a movie going on, looked at the crowd in a very confused way, looked at the preacher embarassed, and in a slow, dazed, hesitating voice, said, "Uh... I think I missed something.. I was in deep thoughts like one of our earlier Prime Minister.. So this god that you talk about.. Is this god a voyeur or a dictator?"
The crowd looked at him for a couple of seconds and turned to the preacher for an answer.
