We know of the vengeance of the God of the Hebrew Bible, now for the vengeance of Bacchus rejected at Athens.
Slowly does heaven move;
but its strength is something sure:
it brings to destruction those human beings who honor atheism, being anti-religious, and being impious–those in mad imagination fail to have reverence for gods (all the demigods of God).
The gods craftily conceal the unhastening tread of time.
Sometimes they do not or sometimes human beings can see what the gods are doing, for example through Astrology.
The gods hunt down these people.
Never should people’s thoughts and practice rise above the gods.
It costs little to revere the gods acknowledging they have sovereign power: the might of heaven through long ages upheld by the nature of our incarnation within our Solar System.
There is a godly hunt of the unholy.
The gods seek revenge on those who put themselves apart from gods through atheism, agnosticism, or absenteeism.
