Quote by Thomas Paine
That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not.
Summary
This quote challenges the notion that the inability of God to lie proves the integrity of priests or the Bible. While it acknowledges the belief that God is incapable of lying, it suggests that this does not necessarily extend to human beings such as priests or to religious texts like the Bible. The quote implies that the trustworthiness of individuals and religious scriptures should not be automatically assumed solely based on the belief in a truthful deity.
