The six sentence story prompt – Rivalry
There was a King. His power was no rivalry on earth and in heavens. He became friends with an ordinary man named Abram so He blessed Abram and his descendants.
Now Abram is long passed but his descendants are fighting in Gaza. In the midst of the crossfire, the oppressed lift up their voices to cry out ‘YHWH! Allah!’ The King has compassion to Abram’s sons and daughters and He weeps.
Flicker of Thoughts 
That rivalry has gone on for thousands of years. I like how you brought the two sides together in this story even while they are at war.

It is all too easy to imagine that the true original sin was to see religion as having a value that was so critical to life that any other form of the same thing was a threat.

It’s true what you said and there is truly a clash of believes but if they decide to fight then it should at least be equal … Quite a beautiful piece dear~💕💖

Beautifully done, Cassa. It seems the curse of humanity that we have to endlessly kill, despite the millions of voices calling always for peace.

Good write, however the struggle is over land and occupation, religion is to confuse people. And, how convenient, its not as easy to solve that.

If we treat each other as family, than there should be enough land and resources to be living in peace by sharing. In reality, it is divisive. Thank you for the thoughtful comment Jay.
