5. Idols of the Age
If we do play
to an unseen audience--
tourists or tenders--
how they, some of them,
must laugh at
our bumperstickers:
"The universe is infinite."
"Pi = 3.1416..."
"2 + 2 = 4."
"Neti, neti."
"Light travels at 300,000 km/sec."
"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten so that man should not die but
have everlasting life."
"Progress is our most important product."
"Tat tvam asi."
