Meaning
This reads as a blunt attack on religious authority and on stories the speaker rejects as human-made. It can be taken to mean that practical ethical teachers matter more than inherited myth, at least in the speaker’s view. It lands in a polemical discussion about faith, where conviction is being used to draw a hard line between inspiration and belief.
