Excerpt from Challenging a God
In View of the extraordinary fact that this ruler's subjects excel their god in sense Of beauty, nobility, and justice,,i do not hesitate to challenge him. I realize that it requires a great deal Of courage to do so. This god, namely, has a powerful helpmate, whose name is Public Opinion. This second god, Public Opinion, is the worst enemy Of progress, sci ence, and truth. It Often tempts a man to be untrue to his convictions. It sometimes keeps him silent when he should speak. Caring more for truth and the soul-progress Of humanity than for public opinion, I shall now proceed to send my challenge.
I accuse this god Of having felt infinitely bored; of having passed the dreariness Of the eternal hours in creating balls Of mud and peo pling them with beings; Of having been, and still being, the whimsical, playful owner of human toys; Of having, knowingly, made these toys imperfect, through which imperfection they Often suffer unnameable agonies.
