Quote by C. S. Lewis

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worshi

Summary

This quote suggests that the refusal to worship God does not impact or diminish His glory in any way. The analogy of a lunatic trying to darken the sun by writing 'darkness' on the cell walls highlights the absurdity and futility of attempting to diminish the greatness of God. Just as the sun remains unaffected by such an action, God's glory remains unaffected by the refusal to worship Him. It emphasizes the unchanging and untouchable nature of God's splendor and power.
