About This Quote
To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today. In other words, as long as we are not certain that God exists, we should not worship Him or any other god. The notion that we need to worship a god or give up our lives to a god before we have clear proof that he exists is a dangerous one. It can lead us away from truth and goodness. If we live in a state of uncertainty about the existence of a god, how can we know what is right or wrong?
