Aesop speaks in one of his fables about a time when the beasts & the fowl were engaged in war. The bat tried to belong to both parties.
When the birds were victorious, he would wing around telling
that he was a bird; when the beasts won a fight, he would walk around them
assuring that he was a beast.
But soon his hypocrisy was discovered and he was rejected by
both the beasts & the birds. He had to hide himself & now only by night
can he appear openly.

1 Kings 18:21 (MSG): Elijah challenged the people: “How long
are you going to sit on the fence? If God is the real God, follow him; if it’s
Baal, follow him. Make up your minds!”
