“If this saying did not exist, somebody would have invented it. ”

“If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.”

“If God did not exist it would be necessary to invent Him. But all nature cries aloud that He does exist."(Voltaire)”

“He would have liked to know that somebody wanted to keep him alive, that someone remembered him. He used to say that we exist as long as somebody remembers us.”

“If God did not exist, He would have to be invented. But all nature cries aloud that he does exist: that there is a supreme intelligence, an immense power, an admirable order, and everything teaches us our own dependence on it.”

“Thus, though I dislike to differ with such a great man, Voltaire was simply ludicrous when he said that if god did not exist it would be necessary to invent him. The human invention of god is the problem to begin with.”
