Humility is a virtue of the heavenly, not arrogance. Are we the most superior beast on earth? No, not in strength and not in intelligence. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Both rats and monkeys have been shown to learn from error, yet we have not. More people have died in the name of religion than any other cause on earth. Is massacring God’s creations really serving God — or the devil? And what father would want to see his children constantly divided and fighting? What God would allow a single human life to be sacrificed for monetary gain? Again, the Creator or the devil? .Suzy Kassem
About This Quote
In this quote, Jonathan Swift is asking "if God is so good, why is there so much bad in the world?" He's talking about the world's religions, and saying that there are many people in the world who believe in God but they're not following his religion. And they're not following it correctly. It might be a religion that says "kill everyone who doesn't follow my religion." Yet that's a very bad religion. Or a religion that says "kill your enemies," or something like that.
