He stood quietly before us, the pale thin god who had invaded our land, and waited to hear the charges.
The first of us to speak was Mulungu, the god of the Yao people. "There was a time, many eons ago, when I lived happily upon the earth with my animals. But then men appeared. They made fire and set the land ablaze. They found my animals and began killing them. They devised weapons and went to war with each other. I could not tolerate such behavior, so I had a spider spin a thread up to heaven, and I ascended it, never to return. And yet you have sacrificed yourself for these very same creatures." Mulungu pointed a long forefinger at the pale thin god. "I accuse you of the crime of Love."
