It is totally irrational to think that statues can eat, drink,
move, or do any harm or good to any person. When those who
believe in such fallacies encounter a problem or a difficulty,

with which they can see? Do they have ears with which
they can hear? Say: "Call on your deities, try all of your
wiles against me, and grant me no reprieve." (Surat al-
A'raf: 195)
