Chesterton writes "If man cannot pray, he is gagged, if man cannot kneel, he is in irons." The meaning of this statement is that if man values the things of the world more than God, then they end up worshipping secondary things.

Since the beginning of the religion, Judaism has seen major shifts in both the location and practices of worship.
