If I were a heathen, I would rear a statue to energy, and fall down and worship it

You don't really get to choose. We worship you, and that makes you our God.

Heathen, n. A benighted creature who has the folly to worship something he can see and feel.

Some men worship rank, some worship heroes, some worship power, some worship God, and over these ideals they dispute, but they all worship money

While I do not believe in idol worship, I believe in energy.

External beauty is certainly cool to admire, but when worshipped - it eclipses internal shine.
