Best Quotes about God

All the gods are dead except the god of war.

Cleaver, Eldridge

It is an insult to God to believe in God. For on the one hand it is to suppose that he has perpetrated acts of incalculable cruelty. On the other hand, it is to suppose that he has perversely given his human creatures an instrument -- their intellect -- which must inevitably lead them, if they are dispassionate and honest, to deny his existence. It is tempting to conclude that if he exists, it is the atheists and agnostics that he loves best, among those with any pretensions to education. For they are the ones who have taken him most seriously.

Strawson, Galen

The one thing that a fish can never find is water; and the one thing that man can never find is God.

The seed of God is in us. Given an intelligent and hard-working farmer, it will thrive and grow up to God, whose seed it is; and accordingly its fruits will be God-nature. Pear seeds grow into pear trees, nut seeds into nut trees, and God-seed into God.

Fundamentalists believe Jesus was God becoming man. I believe that Jesus was man becoming God.

Butterworth, Eric

23.

I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.

Angelou, Maya

24.

And again: No more gods! no more gods! Man is King, Man is God! -- But the great Faith is Love!
