“1 Man made his gods, and furnished them with his own body, voice, and garments. 2 If a horse or lion or a slow ox had agile hands for paint and sculpture, the horse would make his god a horse, the ox would sculpt an ox. 3 Our gods have flat noses and black skins say the Ethiopians. The Thracians say our gods have red hair and hazel eyes.” — Xenophanes
