“The ancient man approached God (or even the gods)as the accused person approaches his judge. For the modern man the roles are reversed. He is the judge: God is in the dock. He is quite a kindly judge: if God should have a reasonable defense for being the god who permits war, poverty, and disease, he is ready to listen to it. The trial may even end in God's acquittal. But the important thing is that Man is on the bench and God is in the dock.” IfsMenShouldMayPersonsImportantWarEndsPovertyRolesModernReadyJudgingDiseaseApproachShould HaveImportant ThingsAncientDefenseTrialsReasonablePermitAccusedBenchesModern ManDocksAcquittal Author:C.
