“If God lived on Earth, people would knock out all His windows”
Yiddish Proverb
“And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.”
Bible
“I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.”
Abraham Lincoln
“God of pity and love, return to this earth. Go not so far away, leaving us to evil. Darkness is loose upon the world, the Devil Walks in the land, and there is nothing worth. Death like a dog runs howling from his lair; His bite has made men mad, they follow after All howling too, and their demoniac laughter Drowns like a sea our solitary prayer. Return, 0 Lord, return. Come with the day, Come with the light, that men may see once more Across this earth's uncomfortable floor The kindly paths, the old and loving way. Let us not die of evil in the night. Let there be God again. Let there be light.”
Robert Nathan
“I think there are innumerable gods. What we on earth call God is a little tribal God who has made an awful mess. Certainly forces operating through human consciousness control events.”
William S. Burroughs
“If God were living on earth, people would break His windows”
“Man created his own god: and there is no worse enmity on earth than that between gods”
Friedrich Nietzsche
