The rules as given are thus.

5. Tag five other people.
Here are sentences 5 to 7 of The Jesus of Suburbia:
But the Israelites couldn’t handle a God that awesome, and they set about, time and again, to reduce him to a more manageable size.

I tag Rambles and Shambles, Wings of Eagles, Nigel Coates, Jon Jolly and Deiknuo’s Blog.
