Some quotes to ponder Lori:
Men create the gods after their own image, not only with regard to their form but with regard to their mode of life. (Aristotle)
God is a word to express, not our ideas, but the want of them. (John Stuart Mill)
I distrust those people who know so well what god wants them to do, because I notice that it always coincides with their own desires. (Susan B. Anthony)
And that what we call god's justice is only man's idea of what he would do if he were god. (Elbert Hubbard)
Man created god in his image: intolerant, sexist, homophobic and violent.
If triangles made a god, they would give him three sides. (Montesquieu)
If horses had gods, they would look like horses. (Xenophanes)
Man rarely (if ever) manages to dream up a god superior to himself. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child. (Robert A Heinlein)
God has always resembled his creators. He hated and loved what they hated and loved and he was invariably found on the side of those in power. (Robert Ingersoll)
Isn't it ironic? One of the favorite themes of the Christian Conversion Corps is that, if we don't worship a deity, we must be worshiping ourselves. Yet it seems that this is precisely what, in fact, the theists themselves are doing. They worship a god with the same views, ideals, even personality traits as themselves - the god in the mirror. (Rosa Williams)
Generally speaking, people who claim to possess a living, interactive relationship with Christ tend to have a relationship with a Jesus Christ who thinks very much as they do, and who shares their likes, dislikes and prejudices. (Therion Ware)
