[T]he scripture worshippers put the writings ahead of God. Instead of interpreting God's actions in nature, for example, they interpret nature in the light of the Scripture. Nature says the rock is billions of years old, but the book says different, so even though men wrote the book, and God made the rock and God gave us minds that have found ways to tell how old it is, we still choose to believe the Scripture.
It may be important to write a book that doesn't come up to what I would like to have rather than to write no book at all.
There are writers who say they have no social responsibility except to write a good book, but that doesn't satisfy me.
