If We Could See the Night Sky With Eyes Like the Hubble Telescope

Imagine that we could see the night with eyes the size and sensitivity of the Hubble Space Telescope. How paltry then would seem our terrestrial gods, our shabby deities with human faces. How ridiculous our intolerances, how hollow our claims to have privileged access to the mind of God.

Notes:

The grandeur of the Universe would let us know our place.
