About This Quote

The quote, “It is not that men become too intelligent for God, but rather they become too arrogant for intelligence” is an interesting quote. The Apologist is likely a Christian who believes in God’s ability to guide people. They are likely religious in some form. They are also probably someone who does not believe in atheism.

People who believe in God are usually very fond of the idea that they are good and intelligent. However, the belief that people can be good and intelligent without God makes them feel like there must be something wrong with them. This quote explains how people can feel like there is something inherently wrong with them and how they can think they know more than God.
