The Headpiece for the Staff of Ra

The Staff was really just a big stick…Anyway, it was capped by an elaborate headpiece with a carving of the sun at the top. What you had to do was take the Staff to a special map room in Tanis--it had the whole city laid out in miniature on the floor. When you placed the Staff in a certain spot in this room, at a certain time of day, the sun would shine through a hole here in the headpiece and then send a beam of light down here—to the map--giving you the location of the Well of the Souls...

Shorter Pope Palpatine

Their belief in an imaginary father figure in the sky is dangerous, irrational, and stupid. Our belief in an imaginary father figure in the sky is the foundation upon which civilization is built. And atheists are just afraid of the imaginary father figure they don't believe in, because it's totally consistent for an omnibenevolent being to be a petty and spiteful egomaniac.
