What persuades men and women to mistake each other from time to time for gods or vermin is ideology. One can understand well enough how human beings may struggle and murder for good material reasons - reasons connected, for instance, with their physical survival.

We can mention only one point (which experience confirms), namely, that next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise.
