Classicly

How shall any such being understand that religion, that prayer, praise, and sacrifice are no mere matter between man and man, but only between him and God?  What does it affect him to be told, or to agree, that man is a spirit, and that if he seeks to worship the living God it must be in spirit and truth?  He scarcely knows what the desires, and passions, and wants of the soul are.  To him the words, life and death of the soul, are little more than vague sounds.
