It is said that God is always on the side of the big battalions.

S'il n'existait pas Dieu il faudrait l'inventer." (If God did not exist he would have to be invented.)

God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.

A true god surely cannot have been born of a girl, nor died on the gibbet, nor be eaten in a piece of dough... [or inspired] books, filled with contradictions, madness, and horror.

Morality is everywhere the same for all men, therefore it comes from God; sects differ, therefore they are the work of men.

I tried to believe in God, but I confess to you that God meant nothing in my life, and that in my secret heart I too felt a void where my childhood faith had been. But probably this feeling belongs only to individuals in transition. The grandchildren of these pessimists will frolic in the freedom of their lives, and have more happiness than poor Christians darkened with fear of Hell.

If God did not exist, He would have to be invented. But all nature cries aloud that he does exist: that there is a supreme intelligence, an immense power, an admirable order, and everything teaches us our own dependence on it.

God is a comedian playing to an audience that is too afraid to laugh.

God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.
