"What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols! Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a silent stone, Arise! Can this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in it.
I don't worship wooden idols, I'm a modern man with too much sense for that, I'm a product of the Enlightenment. I worship the gods of Rationalism, the gods of science, the gods of my own understanding, the gods of my own comprehension. I am a thoroughly Modern Man!
This LORD, God, the Almighty of yours. Ha! If He exists, I'm going to stand before Him and demand that He explain Himself, that He justify His actions.
Ya, sure, little man. Let me know how that works out. Don't forget that you are putting your eternal life in the hands of someone (yourself) who has proven time and time again that he makes very serious mistakes. This is the Big One, the only decision that you will ever make that truly counts.
