If we assume that man actually does resemble God, then we are forced into the impossible theory that God is a coward, an idiot, and a bounder.
I like to quote H.L. Mencken because his words cut to the bone. And because my Great Aunt had an affair with him in the days of Vaudeville - a fact my mother vehemently denies, but how else would she have gotten his photo autographed with a tinge of romance?
Where are the H.L. Mencken's today? Scared of telling the truth? Fearful of being labeled a racist/sexist/antitheist?
And what would he think of our society now?
Would he be pleased to know that the Republican presidential nominee believes in evolution? Or would he observe the same "degraded nonsense which country preachers are ramming and hammering into yokel skulls" that he did during the Scopes trial?
I believe that his final notions of the trial are as pertinent today as they were in 1925.
It serves notice on the country that Neanderthal man is organizing in these forlorn backwaters of the land, led by a fanatic, rid of sense and devoid of conscience.
