I am a god of this kingdom. Men, kings, and bishops worship my might. My decrees are carried out throughout the land.
Well.... your activities have really caught our attention My activities? What have I done that deserves the attention of a god? Your name as appeared in so many prayer requests in recent times I can't imagine why.  I mostly keep myself to myself.  What kind of 'prayer requests'? They are mostly requesting for death for the evils you've commited against them Evil? That's a bit of a strong word for what I do, isn't it.  I just engage in some very minor wealth redistribution. You call stealing peoples hard earned resources wealth distribution! Redistribution, but I suppose that's close enough. It isn't like I keep it. I spread it around to grocers, barkeeps, my landlord, the tanner, the baker .. any number of people, really.  When you think about it, I am actually supporting the local economy by keeping funds in circulation that would normally be left to stagnate. Hmmm... that would be really nice if you restricted yout wealth collections to government officials You know, as there is a god of thieves, it seems a bit 'judgy' of you to criticize me for something that you really sort of ebcourage.  I mean, if you don't approve of it, why is there a gid for it? I'm not discouraging you, I'm just telling taking money from hard working people is unfair Life is unfair.  You and your friends quite merrily mess with the lives of us mere mortals purely for amusement.  It's a bit hypocritical to condemn me for a little petty larceny while you demand sacrifices and tribute from those self same 'hard working people'.
