Prophetic Feuerbach


"If you wish for a being without any anthropomorphism, without any human additions, be they additions of the intellect, or the heart, or of imagination, then be courageous and consistent enough to give up God altogether, and to appeal only to pure, naked, godless nature as to the last basis of your existence. As long as you admit a difference, so long you incarnate in God your own difference, so long you incorporate your own essence and nature in the universal and primary being; for as you do not have nor know in distinction from human nature any other being than Nature, so, on the other hand, you neither have nor know any other being in distinction from Nature than the human one." --Ludwig Feuerbach, The Essence of Religion, tr. Alexander Loos, pp. 48-49.
