Nothing twists and deforms the soul more than a low or unworthy conception of God

Is the god the source, or is the god a human manner of conceiving of the force and energy that supports the world? In our tradition God is a male.

You cannot say God is a "She." You cannot say God is an "It." (18)

God is always God, but the views which people and nations may take of him vary. No higher view is known than that of love.

I don't think God is a gender. He presents himself as a father but he comes to us with the tenderness of a mother. In some of the parables, he is the housewife who cleans the house looking for the lost coin. So I think we can miss the point if we get too concerned about the gender of God.

The thoughts which the word "God" suggests to the human mind are susceptible of as many variations as human minds themselves.

The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.

It is said that God has created man in his own image. But it may be that humankind has created God in the image of humankind.

Atheism is not just about not believing there is a God, but on the assumption that there is one, what kind of God is he?

We offer up prayers to god only because we have made him after our own image. We treat him like a pasha, or a sultan, who is capable of being exasperated and appeased.

For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like.

To say God spake or appeared as he is in his own nature, is to deny his Infiniteness, Invisibility, Incomprehensibility.

God is the same, even though He has a thousand names; it is up to us to select a name for Him.

There is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, they are persons, they are not some vague idea in the clouds. This God spray does not exist! The three persons exist!
