May it not be that, just as we have to have faith in Him, God has to have faith in us and, considering the history of the human ra...ce so far, may it not be that "faith" is even more difficult for Him than it is for us?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will... be slaves on earth.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
