Quote by C.S. Lewis

We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it

We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there

Summary

This quote expresses a perspective on God's existence and role in someone's life. Comparing God to a parachute, it suggests that people view God as a backup or last resort. Like an airman who hopes to never need to deploy their parachute, individuals might prefer not to rely on God unless they find themselves in dire or desperate situations. It implies that while they acknowledge God's existence, they prefer to navigate life independently unless circumstances force them to seek divine assistance.
