Man: God-Man! God-Man: This is a rare #1 comic book in near mint condition! Its destruction would be a crime against civilization! Man: Our religious leader have instructed us to destroy idolatrous objects! God-Man: But this is a cultural treasure that is held precious by comics collectors everywhere! Burning it will bring you global condemnation! Man: You are right, God-Man! We shall preserve it! Man: Wife! Put this in a plastic bag and place it in a humidity-controlled room! Wife: Please! I am in need of medical assistance! Man: Silence! You know that our religious rules preclude women being treated by doctors! God-Man: Um...if we're done here, I'm gonna skedaddle! And so, God-Man has shown that religions may differ... But there are some moral absolutes -- like preservation of artifacts -- that are worth fighting for!
