Summary

This quote criticizes Voltaire's statement that if God did not exist, humans would have to create Him. The author argues that Voltaire's idea is ludicrous because the invention of God by humans is the root of the problem. It implies that the concept of a deity created by humans has caused conflict, division, and other negative consequences. Therefore, the quote questions the necessity and validity of humanity's creation of God.
