[Rita nods.] I haven't told many people. If this were widely known, someone might go ahead and try killing all the god followers. [In fact, someone already did try - and it wasn't even someone who had this clue, to Rita's knowledge. How many more people would have joined in if they had reason to think it could work?]

And... yeah, it was probably Tikbalang. He's about the only one who seems to know anything about the gods. I mean... besides Dr. Liewen, but he isn't exactly around anymore.
