Theology for Skeptics Quotes

“God is practically speaking irrelevant for the great majority precisely because of God's non-interference. But God is (to use an expression of American theologians) no "interventionist," who interferes by intervening, but an "intentionist," who makes the divine will and intention discernible. I could simply say: God dreams us, even today.”
― Dorothee Sölle, Theology for Skeptics: Reflections On God

“God dreams us, and we should not let God dream alone.”
― Dorothee Sölle, Theology for Skeptics: Reflections On God

“Why do people venerate a God whose most important quality is power, whose interest is subjection, whose fear is equality? Why worship a being who is addressed as “Lord,” whose theologians must testify to his omnipotence because power alone is not enough for him? Why should we honor and love a being who does not transcend the moral level of contemporary culture as shaped by men, but instead establishes it?”
