David SedarisI'm dating myself, but this was before Jesus Christ. We worshiped a God named Sashatiba, who had five eyes, including one on the Adam's apple.
About This Quote
Some people believe that some of the gods that existed in ancient times had five or six eyes. For some reason, the god named Sashatiba was one of these gods and had five eyes on him. Sashatiba was the god of the sun and the moon and so he had to have a lot of eyes in order to see what needed to be seen. The god Sashatiba lived on earth and was considered a very ugly god.
He also lived in a wooden house which had no doors and no windows. He had a stick for a nose and five eyes, including one on his big toe. He worshiped this god by cutting off heads and putting them in his little wooden house.
