The Servant and The Messenger (Other) by ALChemy

Beloved though you are to me and coveted by man. I stray not from my path for you. For I am under higher authority and by way of it’s command can serve one master but never two. Unless my master is the one who sent the words that you should speak. Then I shall be compelled to ask for proof. Only then shall I leave the road I‘m on and this new path shall I seek. Whether it’s end be near or aloof. Unsheathe the sword of truth before my eyes. So that I may see that god has changed his mind or I shall live the same life I have lead. For I will take only the road to paradise and not even the mightiest of angelkind can persuade me with words that god has not said.

By whom are people built to have faith? You're doing the "purpose of species" thing again.

People have faith because of the following:

BIFF: Why does the sun go up and down?
CLARK: I dunno.
BIFF: Maybe somebody's making it move?
CLARK: Sure, but who?
BIFF: I dunno. Big guy, I guess. Invisible.
CLARK: Man, I'd hate to piss him off. Probably drop the sun on my head if I did.
BIFF: That reminds me of when my mom got a mammoth dropped on her head. Dang, I wish death didn't suck so bad!
CLARK: Yeah, but it does, though, doesn't it?
BIFF [musingly]: But maybe not... I bet if anyone could improve death, the Big Sun Guy could!
CLARK: Yeah, but your mom's dead. We ate her.
BIFF: Not if she had some invisible lifeforce that superexisted her body! Like, I dunno, a soul, I guess.
CLARK: What the fuck are you talking about?
BIFF: The soul. The source of your morality, stupid!
CLARK [clubbing Biff to death]: What morality? [Then,] Oh crap! Biff's dad's gonna kill me to protect his family interests! What the fuck?
BIFF'S DAD: Big Sun Guy's gonna kill your ass!
CLARK: No, no! Wait! Big Sun Guy teaches tolerance and forgiveness of sins!
BIFF'S DAD: Really? Isn't that kind of pussy-like?
CLARK: You can't call Big Sun Guy pussy-like, he'll kill your ass.
BIFF'S DAD: Oh, right. My bad.

[And so on. Ad infinitum, amen.]
