It is the manner of gods and prophets to begin: “Thou shalt have none
other God or Prophet but me.” If I were to start as a god or a prophet,
I think I should take the line:
“Thou shalt not believe in me. Thou shalt not have me for a god. Thou
shalt worship any damned thing thou likest except me.” This should be my
first and great commandment, and my second should be like unto it. {333}
