-
I pray to the gods
-
every night,
-
but I don't think they listen to me.
-
Do you know how useless prayer is?
-
Chanting and singing
-
and mucking about with old half-remembered lines of bad poetry,
-
and you know what it gets you?
-
Exactly nothing.
-
Are you sure you're a priest?
-
I've been preaching longer than you've been sucking down oxygen.
-
And in that time, I've learned enough to know
-
that the gods don't answer prayers.
