Quote by Samuel Butler

Theist and atheist: the fight between them is as to whether God shall be called God or shall have some other name.

Theist and atheist: the fight between them is as to whether

Summary

This quote suggests that the disagreement between theists and atheists is ultimately about the semantics of how we refer to God, rather than the existence of a higher power. Theists advocate for using the term "God," while atheists prefer alternative names or no label at all. It implies that the two sides argue about nomenclature rather than engaging in deeper discussions about belief systems or the concept of divinity itself.

I squeezed my eyes shut and took several deep breaths, trying not to smell Jace in front of me, not to taste him on my lips. But it was useless. In that moment, Jace was everywhere. He was in my mind, he was in my heart, and he was in my memory. He smelled good. He tasted good. And the blissful aftershock still throbbing in my most sensitive places felt wonderful, when everything else in my life was an obstacle to be overcome.
