It’s a country, not a church.
Yup.
And who trotted out his god?
Remember?
Beck did.

That's right. The king of Nineveh listened to Jonah, called for a fast, and the people repented. Thus God called off the destruction. Jonah was rather irritated. Maybe the king was a Mormon?
Jonah 4:10-11 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: 11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
