About This Quote
If we assume that man actually does resemble God, then we are forced into the impossible theory that God is a coward, an idiot and a bounder. The idea that God would be afraid of us is absurd. We would not be able to hurt God in any way. If we assume that God is not afraid of us, then he must be afraid of something else.
There must be another reason for God to be afraid. An example of this is if we assume that man resembles God and there is no heaven or hell, then we are forced into the impossible theory that God is an idiot and a bounder.
