Ray BradburyI often wonder if God recognizes His own son the way we've dressed him up, or is it dressed him down?
About This Quote
The idea that we have dressed God down, or rather downgraded God to a less than divine level, is a concept that has been around for centuries. In fact, the idea of dressing God up as a human being has been around as long as man has existed. It just isn't very often that we see such an idea expressed as well as it was in this quote.
