You liar!

          Arguments are the bread and butter of the angel and the devil. One fine night, as they stared at the stars, they embarked on a conversation.
"Why don't you worship God?"
"Because, he is a liar!"
"Can't be. He has bestowed me with this blissful life of mine. I adore him. Why, why do you brand him so?"
"When I was landed down into this world, he asked me to walk to my right, facing the pole star to find this mountain peak which would be my abode. But the peak was to my left."
"Come on, I too was told the same. I am here because I followed his directions. And so should you also be."
"I doubted him, so walked left. And that is how I am here."
"Nay, you lie."
"Why should I?"
"Because I walked as was told and have found this abode."
"And I walked in the opposite direction to the same abode. You too lie, like the one you adore."
"Nay, neither do I lie, nor the one I adore. But you do!"
"You liar! How dare you say so?..."
"You liar! How dare you call me so?..."
"You liar!...."
"You liar!...."
....
....
        The fight went on late into the night and the earth below laughed to herself because she knew neither the angel nor the devil lied.
