About This Quote
Throughout history, religion has been used as a form of power and oppression. In the biblical book of Exodus, God is portrayed as a jealous god watching over his people and keeping them from taking any risks, even going so far as to kill those who question the Old Testament. In a similar vein, a version of this quote can be found in the Talmud, an ancient Jewish text. It states: “A wise man will not invoke the name of God except in peace and safety; but fools will put their trust in Him without fear.”
