the pagans will say had god wanted we would not have worshipped idols nor would our fathers nor would we have made anything unlawful. others before them had also spoken such lies until they experienced the severity of our wrath. ask them do you possess any knowledge? if so tell us about it. you follow only conjectures and preach falsehood.
