    Nothing new. Humans have made idols out of objects that “fell from heaven” for millennia. One of the most prominent of those that remain is the “black stone” in the ka’aba in Mecca . . .

    They say he’s either a God War or Wealth.
I can’t tell by the outfit (no weapons, though) but what does a god need with a weapon?
