(Because all the people in Athens — locals and visitors alike — literally spent their whole day doing nothing but sharing the latest news or hunting for something new to talk about.)

Instead, you went and disrespected the Lord of heaven. You had them bring out the sacred cups from his temple, and you, your officials, your wives, and your side pieces all drank wine from them. You praised your little statues made of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone — things that can't see, can't hear, and literally know nothing. But the God who controls every breath you take and every move you make? You didn't give him any respect at all.
