Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or atheism:
“Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“But they that hold God to be [an incorporeal substance] ... do absolutely make God to be nothing at all. But how? Were they atheists? No. For though by ignorance of the consequence they said that which was equivalent to atheism, yet in their hearts they thought God a substance ... So that this atheism by consequence is a very easy thing to be fallen into, even by the most godly men of the church.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
