Explanation
S opens the anecdote promised by S1: 'There was a great sculptor.' P continues with 'He', the sculptor, making an idol of God. Q describes the idol nearing completion and the sculptor growing withdrawn. R completes the scene - the instant it was finished he discarded his tools and bowed to his own creation - which explains S6's punchline: he forgot he had made it. Hence SPQR, option C, is correct.
