Quote by Sam Harris

We know enough at this moment to say that the God of Abraham is not only unworthy of the immensity of creation; he is unworthy even of man.

We know enough at this moment to say that the God of Abraham

Summary

This quote suggests that the God of Abraham, as depicted in religious texts, is not deserving of the vastness and complexity of the universe, and even falls short of deserving humanity's appreciation. It implies that this particular portrayal of God may not fully reflect the magnificence and potential of the cosmos or the capabilities and worthiness of human beings. The quote questions the limitations placed on God and argues for a broader, more inclusive perspective on divinity.
