"What fools these mortals be," *
Killing each other in God's name.
You try to fit The Creator
Between the covers of a book.
And if anyone disagrees with you,
You insult them,
Try to force them to conform,
Ostracize them -
or
Slaughter them.
That makes people fear you,
And obey you.
They let you have the power of gods.
It is easier than thinking
About reality,
And seeking the truth about
The Creator
of
Galaxies and Atoms.
* William Shakespeare
(1564–1616).
Midsummer Night's Dream
Act III, Scene II
Puck tells Oberon
