M&D c50 The Golem

[David Morris]

It's officially OK for God (AKA Jesus) to make life from clay.  The Golem
is a cautionary tale, pure & simple.  Man's attempts to be God via man made
life is likely to backfire on friend and foe, become catastrophic.

I don't know how this becomes American Religion.  Heresy isn't the heart of
the Golem story, but hubris, the sin that cast down Lucifer, is.

"American Religion?"
I don't have a clue what you mean by that.
