Here is why you should believe in Zod.

There are those who will tell you that you need to have faith in their god or their prophet or their god-man.
They will give you all kinds of reasons why you should believe.
These reasons run from a simple "why not believe, what will it hurt?" to threats if eternal torture.
Well, Zod is different.
He won't ask you to believe on faith, or with threats.
No, the reason to believe in Zod is simple.
Jesus was a carpenter.
Mohammed was an illiterate.
Zod was a general.
Who's more likely to be right?

Problem with Zod is that his divinity isn't taught to people when they're kids and that's why nobody believes in him. You know how it goes: tell people about the carpenter who walks on water when they are adults and they'll laugh at you, but coach it to them when they are kids and they will defend it well over the point of dishonesty.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

What you do in the privacy of your own bedroom is your own business.
But I think calling it 'enigma' might be overstating it, Iggy.

Is there any truth to the rumour I've been spreading that you're about to change your name to Hugh Mungus?
