If triangles made a god, they would give him three sides.

If triangles made a god, they would give him three sides.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that if triangles could create a deity, they would attribute to it the qualities that define them - three sides. It highlights the human tendency to construct gods and divine beings in our own image or according to our preferences. The quote ultimately implies that our perception of the divine is often shaped by our own limited understanding and projection of human attributes onto higher beings.
