Best Quotes about God

Hoffman, Oswald C.

Without doubt God is the universal moving force, but each being is moved according to the nature that God has given it.

This rule is truly the eternal law and in it we must believe.

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.

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
