“However hard he tried, he could never manage to make himself visible to human eyes and not because he can't, since for him nothing is impossible, it's simply that he wouldn't know what face to wear when introducing himself to the beings he supposedly created and who probably wouldn't recognize him anyway. There are those who say we're very fortunate that god chooses not to appear before us, because compared with the shock we would get were such a thing to happen, our fear of death would be mere child's play. Besides, all the many things that have been said about god and about death are nothing but stories, and this is just another one.” LifeGodDeathCreation Book:Death with Interruptions Source: Death with Interruptions
“Yes, My Son, man is a piece of wood, that can be used for everything, from the moment he’s born until the moment he dies, he’s always ready to obey, send him there and he goes, tell him to halt and he stops, tell him to turn back and he retreats, whether in peace or in war, man, generally speaking, is the best thing that could have happened to the gods, And the wood from which I’m made, since I’m a man, what use will it be put to, since I’m Your son, You will be the spoon I shall dip into humanity and bring out laden with men who shall believe in the new god I intend to become, Laden with men You will devour, There’s no need for Me to devour those who devour themselves.” GodReligionMankind Author:José Saramago
“Where is your brother, he asked, and cain responded with another question. Am I my brother's keeper, You killed him, Yes, I did, but you are the one who is really to blame, I would have given my life for him if you had not destroyed mine, It was a question of putting you to the test, But why put to the test the very thing you yourself created, Because I am the sovereign lord of all things, And of all beings you will say, but not of me and my freedom, What, the freedom to kill, Just as you had the freedom to stop me killing abel, which was perfectly within your capabilities, all you had to do, just for a moment, was to abandon that pride in your infallibility that you share with all the other gods, and, again just for a moment, to be truly merciful and accept my offering with humility, because you shouldn't have refused it, you gods, you and all the others, have a duty to those you claim to have created, This is seditious talk, Yes, possibly, but I can guarantee you that if I were god, I would repeat every day Blessed are those who choose sedition because theirs is the kingdom of the earth, That's sacrilege, Maybe, but no more sacrilegious than you allowing abel to die…” GodHumanityCainSacrilegeCain And Abel Author:José Saramago
“Suçluluğun tanrı ve insanlar tarafından aynı şekilde anlaşılacağına inanmak hatadır, dedi meleklerden biri, Sodom örneğinde tek bir suçlu vardı ve bu da, saçma bir şekilde acele eden, -kendi ölçütlerine göre- kötülükte bulunanları seçip cezalandırmakla vakit kaybetmek istemeyen tanrı'ydı, hem zaten, sevgili melekler, tanrı'nın, yalnızca tanrı diye, kurallar, engeller, yasaklar ve aynı ağırlıkta başka boş lakırdılar saptayarak müminlerin mahrem yaşamını keyfince yönetmesi gerektiği zırva fikri nereden kaynaklanmatadır, diye sordu kabil, Bunu biz bilmiyoruz, dedi meleklerden biri, Bu tür şeyler hakkında bize neredeyse hiçbir şey söylenmez, gerçekte biz ancak güç gerektiren işlerde hizmet ediyoruz, diye ekledi diğeri, sitemli bir ses tonuyla” GodAngelsCain Book:Caim Source: Caim
