And now the priests, thinking that this infringes upon the power of their God, who created the world once and for all to be unchanging, have closed those doors {which were never doors, except in the minds of men}, and the pathway leads only to the priests' Isle, which they have safeguarded with the sound of their church bells, driving away all thoughts of another world lying in the darkness. Indeed, they say that world, if it indeed exists, is the property of Satan, and the doorway to Hell, if not Hell itself.
