Bertrand RussellAnd if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence
About This Quote
According to the 17th-century philosopher René Descartes, there is no God. He believed that if there were a God, then that God would know that he was thinking about Him and would be offended by that. Thus, he concluded that it seems quite unlikely that there is a God.
