Theologians, [Richard Dawkins] went on to say, "don't do anything, don't affect anything, don't mean anything. What makes anyone think that 'theology' is a subject at all? Theologians tell their fellow believers what God is truly saying to them and what he is not. Thus theologians help people avoid 'prosperity gospel' heresies on the one hand and harmful asceticism on the other. They help people make use of both medicine and prayer. They help people read the Bible properly and read it in concert with science, history, philosophy and common sense. At least, that's what good theologians do."

The "strange fruit" of the southern trees and the tree-like scar in Sethe's back reveals the "pain" in the slavery south. Beloved's seemingly perverse image as the residue of the slavery past aggravates this "pain", but her foils to a revived tree stump representing the tree of history and to the metamorphosing tree-god Dionysus help the former slaves rebuild the bond with their past, thus retrieve the lost "beauty" in the south.

Yet they are either ignorant of, or purposefully ignore, or make excuses for the mountains of filth it endorses: genocide, infanticide, war crimes, torture, rape, sexism and misogyny, bigotry, slavery, intolerance, threats of eternal torture not for how one acted but for what they did or did not believe about the Creator (whoma is represented as a human-like ego-maniacal sky-despot with self-esteem issues), not to mention the blatant absurdity of the superstition, dogma, myth, etc.
