---

If the inspiration is received from a superhuman source, its expression goes out as a human activity. This puts all statements about God within the limitations and under the colouring of human beings: that is to say, all religions are imperfect, may at some points be at fault, or even in error. The truly educated man can only accept them as such, if he is to continue as a religious person also. Otherwise he must keep to himself and silently adore the godlike in his own heart.
