“Many feel they are called to the priesthood, but what they really hear is an inner voice saying, 'It's indoor work with no heavy lifting, do you want to be a ploughman like your father?'”

Small Gods: (Discworld Novel 13)
In the Discworld, gods exist only as long as they are believed in. The Great God Om, once a powerful deity, finds himself reduced to the form of a small, helpless tortoise after his worship dwindles. He is taken under the wing of Brutha, a simple novice who is the only true believer left. Together, they embark on a journey that challenges the corrupt and bureaucratic church of Omnia, questioning the meaning of faith, the role of organized religion, and the true source of divine power. The novel satirizes religious institutions, dogma, and the absurdity of blind belief, while celebrating genuine faith and the strength of the individual conscience. more
