Quote: Denying God Imprisons Man

Posted by Mathew | 11 September 08

Whoever strikes against God strikes down himself. The atheist denying God degrades himself. The atheist exalting himself above God sinks below the level of animate and inanimate beings. Liberation from God is enslavement in creatures. Absolute humanism is the sure road to absolute despotism. Denial of God as truth begets the imprisonment of man in the self-imposed darkness of his own myths.

Vincent Miceli (priest, theologian and philosopher), The Gods of Atheism, 1971.
