How could anyone love Him? What did you just tell me yourself about the world? Don't you see, everybody hates God now. It's not that God is dead in the twentieth century. It's that everybody hates Him! At least I think so.

Anne Rice
About This Quote

People often ask, “How could anyone ever love a God they know to be so cruel and unjust?” The answer is that they don’t have to. I’m not saying that the God of the Bible is not a sadistic being who would love to see people suffer or die. I’m just saying that you don’t have to agree with him in order to love him.
