I am not so proud to say: "Do not touch him, he is my personal enemy, I want to make him harmless myself".

Well, I cannot say that I need help, but why shall I refuse from it?

Once I have read a Vietnamese folk-tale "How a Frog became the Master of the Heaven". Of course, I have read it in my native Russian language, but here is my home-made translation into English.

It was in those far times when there were no people on the Earth, but only animals. A terrible drought happened on the Earth; all animals suffered badly, and many of them even died. And at last one Frog said to other frogs:
- I want to go to the Heaven and demand rain! Does anybody want to join me?
- But the Heaven is so high!
- Any route has its beginning and its end.
- But God will get angry and kill us all!
- But we are already dying, the things cannot be worse than now! We are small, but we are strong with our uprightness! God domineers only cowards and is afraid of daredevils!
Many frogs joined their leader, and they went to the Heaven. And many other animals asked the Frog:
- May we join you too?
- Of course yes! The greater will be our army, the better!
Even tigers and bears joined this army, though at first they said:
- We are too big to follow a small frog.
- You are big, but I am braver than you. I do not force anyone to join me.
Big animals got ashamed and also joined the army.
And when this army came to the gates of the Heaven and knocked, the angry God sent all his army, all angels and archangels, but they were defeated, and many of them were even killed. The winning hit was made by a great cluster of bees who stung their opponents.
The God, trembling with fear, heard the Frog's voice: "Oh God, please come to see us!" And the word "please" told him that they are not going to kill him. The god went out of his palace and asked:
- What do you want?
- You see, there is a terrible drought, we all are suffering badly. Is it possible to send a rain?
- Yes, of course! - and God sent a rain.
- And if another drought will happen, must we come here once more?
- Oh no! It will be enough for you to croak, and I shall send a new rain.
And since then, soon after the frog's croaking, the rain begins.

So you bring up a vietnams folks tale? Tell us how this helps your point on disproving the bible

No, one tale (Vietnamese) cannot disprove another tale (the Bible), but the former at least shows us how good is it to be brave and not to be afraid of anyone, even of the god.
