[The morality of gods is not the same as that of mortals. The Drifter knows this. The jackal had no qualms with picking and choosing which drifters would carry the burden of curing the world of the perfect Cell's creeping toxins; which would last until the very end of the journey, and which would falter so close to the end. It did not seem fair, but life was far from fair, and the illness that devours one alive is even less so.]
[But there are gods and then there are false idols that elevate themselves far above others - charlatans who don fluttering cloaks and walk on stilts and raise their beaks high, as though they believe themselves better than the rabble they command. War-makers and egg-breakers, who sacrificed young on altars to worship a deity that did not truly exist.]
[Know this: gods that facilitate the sacrifice of children are not gods at all.]
