Quotable

Found in a talk by Elder Neal A. Maxwell - The Inexhaustible Gospel

"...if God is a socially conscious political being whose views invariably correspond to our own prejudices on every essential point of doctrine, he demands of us no more than our politics require. [H]ow would our worship of [this kind of being] constitute more than self-congratulation for our own moral standards? ... As an atheist, I like this God. It is good to see him every morning while I am shaving."

[Eugene D. Genovese, “Pilgrim’s Progress,” The New Republic, 11 May 1992, p. 38]
