“If he is infinitely good, what reason should we have to fear him?
If he is infinitely wise, why should we have doubts concerning out future?
If he knows all, why warn him of our needs and fatigue him with our prayers?
If he is everywhere, why erect temples to him?
If he is infinitely just, why fear that he will punish the creatures that he has filled with weaknesses?
If he is infinitely reasonable, how can he be angry at the willfully blind, to whom he he has given the liberty of being unreasonable?
If he is inconceivable, why occupy ourselves with him at all?
If he has spoken, why is the world still not convinced?”
- Percy Bysshe Shelley, (1792-1822)
