Analysis is carried into everything. Even Deity is subjected to chemical tests.
It is an absurdity to believe that the Deity has human passions, and one of the lowest of human passions, a restless appetite for applause
We have turned doctors into gods and worship their deity by offering up our bodies and our souls - not to mention our worldly goods. And yet paradoxically, they are the most vulnerable of human beings. Their suicide rate is eight times the national average. Their percentage of drug addiction is one hundred times higher And because they are painfully aware that they cannot live up to our expectations, their anguish is unquantifiably intense. They have aptly been called 'wounded healers. ' " ~ Barney Livingston, M. D. (Doctors, 1989)
Why seek the Deity further? Whatever we see is God, and wherever we go.

Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. That is all true. But it is only fair, too, to let them know that the garments of the deity are filthy and that some of her influences debase and befoul a people.
