To say of any man that he is God,
the “begotten” son of God, or that his father is God; is not an honor but an
insult. A French peasant understood this distinction better than the millions
of erudite scholars walking the earth today.
It is reputed that Louis XV, King
of France was a very lecherous person. No woman was safe from his
debaucheries. After his death, when his
son was well settled on the throne a rumor spread around Paris that an exact
duplicate of the young king was seen roaming about the capital. The king was
naturally intrigued to see his double.
It did not take the King’s men long to have the rustic boy from the
countryside presented before the king.
The king was amused by the stark resemblance to himself and his late
father. He was tickled to have a dig at
the poor farmer. Curiously and politely
the king asked the boy, “Did your mother ever visit Paris during my father’s
reign?” “No” the rustic replied, “But my
father did!” This was a death-knell for
the king, but he had asked for it!
