When men make gods, there is no God!

When men make gods, there is no God!

Summary

This quote suggests that when humans create their own gods or deities, it negates the existence of a higher, divine being. By stating that "there is no God," it implies that if gods are merely man-made constructs, they cannot represent the true essence of a supreme being. Thus, it questions the authenticity and true divinity of created gods, emphasizing the impossibility of capturing the essence of a higher power through human efforts.
