About This Quote

The human brain is not equipped to think about God. We can't even comprehend what an infinite mind and all-powerful being would mean. To think we could know the mind of a God is to think we know our own minds. How can we know that we are right and someone else is wrong? Surely we cannot judge something that we cannot comprehend. What do people mean when they say, "I am not afraid of God because I know He's good"? Have they never even been to a dentist? How can you be sure God will not do horrible things in the future? The best way to live with a God is to live without one.
