In the old days Molech was worshipped by both Israelites and Ammonites. He is very proud of the fact that king Solomon, the famous son of David, was for several years a keen devotee.
Molech waxed lyrical as he talked exclusively to our reporter Gary Megson.
Molech: "A lot of my friends like to call me 'Dracula' because a lot of blood has been shed in my honour.
From a personal point of view I always respond very positively to any committed worshipper who is willing to go the whole hog and perform a human sacrifice.
It was a stroke of genius on the part of my agent when he came up with the idea of the giant statue with the bull's head and its outstretched arms.
Gary Megson : "It's fantastic to find a heathen deity, like yourself, on such excellent form. We interviewed Thor last week and he was living on benefits in a damp and tiny cottage in Norway. He was really depressed and moaned non-stop about the Enlightenment. He said he's really been shafted by the 18th century and even asked us to lend him some money to pay for his gas bill. Why are you such an incredible winner while Thor is such an obvious loser?"
Molech : Don't talk to me, Gary, about those wimps from Scandinavia. I've never known such a snivelling bunch of toe-rags in all my life. Nordic gods have simply failed to adapt to the new secular context. They're all a bunch of useless spongers who deserve to live in abject penury."
Molech : The comparison with Ronahldino is a nice touch Gary but an investigative reporter, like you, shouldn’t be so obsequious and fawning. Shut it and don’t staunch my flow. The truth of the matter, Gary, is that we’ve all been forced to adapt and change in harrowing times. The Enlightenment proclaimed the autonomy of man and Thor is right when he contends that humans began to trust in their own rational and technical powers and we pagan deities were forced to fade into the background. We had to go underground and that’s exactly what we did. But the brighter sparks amongst us decided to reinvent ourselves and I chose the arms race. The pickings have been spectacular.”
Gary, are you aware, that there are about 300,000 child soldiers worldwide? They’re used as spies, messengers, sentries, porters and even sexual slaves. Children, as you know, are obedient soldiers and will obey any command.
The money I’m making with my associates in Europe and the USA is vast and it’s really only a minor adjustment to my normal mode of operation.”
It’s great being a pagan god in the modern world Gary! I’ll never go back to how it was in ancient times. It’s far better now!
