Another insight on theology from Baron D'Holbach and a quote on heresy and another on the creation of god.

Good Sense by Baron D'Holbach
What is theology?
By the magical power of "ifs," "buts," "perhaps's," "what do we know," etc., heaped together, a shapeless and unconnected system is formed, perplexing mankind, by obliterating from their minds the clearest ideas and rendering uncertain truths most evident. Because of this systematic confusion, nature is an enigma; the visible world has disappeared to give place to regions invisible; the reason is compelled to yield to the imagination, who leads to the country of her self-invented chimeras.
Quotes

Arthur C. Clarke
Heresy is only another word for freedom of thought.
