Quote by Criss Jami

The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe.

The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down

Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental disagreement between atheists and theists regarding the origin of the universe. Atheists ascribe the creation of the universe to a non-personal cause or "what" such as natural processes or the laws of physics. On the other hand, theists believe in a personal and intentional creator, a "who," often referring to a deity or God. Ultimately, the difference lies in the attribution of agency and consciousness to the cause behind the universe's existence.

Too much attention to health is a hindrance to learning, to invention, and to studies of any kind, for we are always feeling suspicious shootings and swimmings in our heads, and we are prone to blame studies from them.

In this world, only those people who have fallen to the lowest degree of humiliation, far below beggary, who are not just without any social consideration but are regarded by all as being deprived of that foremost human dignity, reason itself -- only those people, in fact, are capable of telling the truth. All the others lie.
