Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the=

But, somehow, I don't expect any saying of Jesus Christ to be very=20
agreeable to you either. If such is the case we'll just have to agree=20
to disagree. :-) Perhaps you can agree with Aesop?

=93No man can serve two masters=94 (Matt. 6:24). Aesop speaks in one of=
=20
his fables about a time when the beasts and fowls were engaged in war.=20
The bat tried to belong to both parties. When the birds were victorious,=
=20
he would wing around telling that he was a bird; when the beasts won a=20
fight, he would walk around them assuring them that he was a beast. But=
=20
soon his hypocrisy was discovered and he was rejected by both the beasts=
=20
and the birds. He had to hide himself, and now only by night can he=20
appear openly.

I think you are engaging in wild speculation that is, so far at least,
unsupported by any evidence.
