Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Religion is the outcome of human weakness or the limitation of human knowledge.”
Beliefs make it easier to go through hardships, even make them pleasant. Man can find a strong support in God and an encouraging consolation in His Name. If you have no belief in Him, then there is no alternative but to depend upon yourself. It is not child’s play to stand firm on your feet amid storms and strong winds.
But belief, I should say blind belief is disastrous. It deprives a man of his understanding power and makes him reactionary.
faith cannot withstand the onslaught of reason, it collapses.
As regard the origin of God, my thought is that man created God in his imagination when he realized his weaknesses, limitations and shortcomings.
