The only way we can confront these people is to make them aware of what a
deity is and what an idol is. I am proud of my faith and this is the best
means of slapping them in the face. True it makes no difference what
language we use. But they certainly take notice of you when you say "No I
worship deities and not idols" !!! That's when they ask questions and
that's when they are confronted with the reality of their rape and theft of
our nation and our mothers.
