If I can't understand you, you are either racist or sexist or both.

You must be "woke".  I suggest more sleep.
Ha’át’íísh baa naniná?
Azee’ Å,a’ish nanídį́į́h?
Táadoo ánít’iní.
What are you doing?
Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

I don't think the word "synonym" is a synonym...

"Synonym" is a synonym for confusion.  I much prefer antonyms.

The Koran is still read, however the Islamic schools instruct their followers what to understand from it as there is no real sense to it.

Yes, anthologies of oracular poetry in a special dialect of Classical Arabic is hard for even native speakers of colloquial Arabic to understand.  In most organizations, the law for instance, you have specialists explain it to you.  This is usually true of religious scriptures.  At times even I find great value in someone's clever interpretation of something that is unclear.

Of course we could go back to Ancient Athens, where Socrates didn't have a defense attorney, he had to address the court and witnesses all by himself.  But his arrogance was up to the task of being his own expert.  Are you?

I don't have the arrogance of Socrates or the wisdom of Solomon.  I am but mortal.

So where they.  If you put anyone on a pedestal, then they are just marble.

A nice turn of phrase.

Only if you put the statue on a turntable ... like the famous "Venus Bathing" ;-)
