A Small Thought

"Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image, that is profitable for nothing? [...] They have not known nor understood...and none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, '...Shall I fall down to a block of wood?'" Isaiah 44:10-19

Are not all the people with all of their plans, all of their ideas and thoughts, their institutions and organizations, their examples and evidence, their wisdom and knowledge, their objections and arguments, their gods and idols, their luxuria and self-indulgence, their rallies and protests, their railings and rantings, their leaders and icons, their corporate temples and concrete monoliths, their diversity and individualism, their fears and their hopes, and all things past, present, and future that people use to do away with God: are they not all about as sensible as he who worships a block of wood?
