Quotes about: God

• I never asserted such an absurd thing as that things arise without a cause.

  David Hume

  God, Causes, Absurd

• When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nordiminishes.

  David Hume

  God, Lying, Believe

• There surely is a being who presides over the universe; and who, with infinite wisdom and power, has reduced the jarring elementsinto just order and proportion. Let speculative reasoners dispute, how far this beneficent being extends his care, and whether he prolongs our existence beyond the grave, in order to bestow on virtue its just reward, and render it fully triumphant.

  David Hume

  God, Order, Rewards
