But dost Thou know that for the sake of that earthly bread the spirit of the earth will rise up against Thee and will strive with Thee and overcome Thee, and all will follow him, crying, "Who can compare with this beast? He has given us fire from heaven!" Dost Thou know that the ages will pass, and humanity will proclaim by the lips of their sages that there is no crime, and therefore no sin;there is only hunger? "Feed men, and then ask of them virtue!"that's what they'll write on the banner, which they will raise against Thee, and with which they will destroy Thy temple.Where Thy temple stood will rise a new building; the terrible tower of Babel will be built again, and though, like the one of old, it will not be finished, yet Thou mightest have prevented that new tower and have cut short the sufferings of men for a thousand years; for they will come back to us after a thousand years of agony with their tower.They will seek us again, hidden underground in the catacombs, for we shall be again persecuted and tortured.They will find us and cry to us, "Feed us, for those who have promised us fire from heaven haven't given it!" And then we shall finish building their tower, for he finishes the building who feeds them.And we alone shall feed them in Thy name, declaring falsely that it is in Thy name.Oh, never, never can they feed themselves without us! No science will give them bread so long as they remain free.In the end they will lay their ******* at our feet, and say to us, "Make us your slaves, but feed us." They will understand themselves, at last, that ******* and bread enough for all are inconceivable together, for never, never will they be able to share between them! They will be convinced, too, that they can never be free, for they are weak, vicious, worthless, and rebellious.Thou didst promise them the bread of Heaven, but, I repeat again, can it compare with earthly bread in the eyes of the weak, ever sinful and ignoble race of man? And if for the sake of the bread of Heaven thousands shall follow Thee, what is to become of the millions and tens of thousands of millions of creatures who will not have the strength to forego the earthly bread for the sake of the heavenly? Or dost Thou care only for the tens of thousands of the great and strong, while the millions, numerous as the sands of the sea, who are weak but love Thee, must exist only for the sake of the great and strong? No, we care for the weak too.They are sinful and rebellious, but in the end they too will become obedient.They will marvel at us and look on us as gods, because we are ready to endure the ******* which they have found so dreadful and to rule over them-so awful it will seem to them to be free.But we shall tell them that we are Thy servants and rule them in Thy name.We shall deceive them again, for we will not let Thee come to us again.That deception will be our suffering, for we shall be forced to lie.
