When Abraham was a boy, his father owned a store that sold idols. One day, his dad needed to go out and left Abraham in charge of the store. Abraham looked at all the idols sitting on the shelves and proceeded to smash all but one with a stick. He then put the stick in that idols hand. When his father returned, he looked at all the broken statues and asked, Abraham what happened. Abraham pointed to the idol with the stick and said, "That one broke all the others." His father replied, "Oh don't be silly...idols can't do that!" Abraham said, "That's right dad...idols are powerless."
