About This Quote

It's not enough merely to believe there is a God. You must believe in the God who is there. This quote expresses an idea that people have believed for centuries. The idea goes back to the Ancient Greeks, who believed that the gods were gods because they were there, rather than because they acted or talked like gods.

They believed that if you saw the gods acting like humans, you would know it was not really them. This idea led to the idea of anthropomorphism , which means attributing human characteristics to things that are not human.
