“What’s the use of a carved godso skillfully carved by its sculptor?What good is a fancy cast godwhen all it tells is lies?What sense does it make to be a pious god-makerwho makes gods that can’t even talk?Who do you think you are—saying to a stick of wood, ‘Wake up,’Or to a dumb stone, ‘Get up’?Can they teach you anything about anything?There’s nothing to them but surface.There’s nothing on the inside.
