4095. A modern
educated person will start objecting to the word God, in the above sentence,
and force me to make explanations that acknowledge that every person’s idea of
that word is different, and every culture produces myriad concepts to explain
the word.
4096. You may go
further and trot out the well-worn idea that God is just a creation of mankind,
and exists only as a sort of communal solipsism. You may even assert that God
is only the creation of a single person’s daydream. Nevertheless, even an
atheist will dream a dream of God, and inadvertently adjust their actions
accordingly, all the while heaping scorn on the notion.
4097. But the
Rooster let that idea pass, and went on to conclude his explanation of Otis’
dream with some further comments about the Blacksmith’s boy.
4098. He said
that even though he was convinced that the play Otis wanted to perform in the
dream was a play ultimately destined for all time, and the entire universe and
everything in it, still the play had another audience, an audience of one
single person.
