Two warring tribes with a fondness for burning the enemy caused him terrible trouble. Each side pledged to fight fire with fire and a fiery arms race began. Pretty soon the whole Earth was being burnt to a crisp. This adds a whole new meaning to the term fire-fighting. OLELBIS stepped in with his wind and water servants who did a tremendous job of extinguishing the fire and the war. Further retribution was put on hold as the humans had pretty much punished themselves. As mankind was originally meant to live forever, OLELBIS commissioned the building of a Heavenly Ladder so the elderly could climb up to eternal bliss. Which seems a bit unfair on the old folk as it was a very long way to climb. Surely a Heavenly Elevator would be more suitable? Unfortunately, Buzzard Incorporated, the company in charge of construction, was persuaded to stop work by a wily COYOTE. So no-one got to Heaven and OLELBIS remains distant and aloof. This is a classic case of the African-style Heavenly Ladder/Unreachable God scenario. Could OLELBIS have been one of the first African exports? (godchecker.com)Tuesday, 26 October 2010
