What's So Great About God

"What we risk if we take the supernatural route is the idea of an unchangeable, unalterable authority. One apparently benign, one apparently wicked. Both of them eternal, both of them unchanging and unchangeable, and ourselves as their play things and their objects and their raw material. This is where the idea of tyranny begins. With the eternal unchanging tyrannical authority. Where we must try with our poor power to guess what's wanted of us and to spend our lives on our knees."
Christopher Hitchens
