Summary

This quote suggests that philosophers often refer to God as the "great unknown," emphasizing the mysterious nature of the divine being. However, the quote adds a playful twist by suggesting that God is not truly unknown, but rather misunderstood or misrepresented by humans. It challenges the notion that humans can fully comprehend or define the essence of God, implying that our understanding of the divine is limited and flawed.
