#idolatry

"One must love God first, and only then can one love one's closest of kin and neighbors. We must not be idols to one another, for such is not the will of God."

"If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated."(Notebooks)"

"You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."

"What God says is best, indeed is best, though all men in the world are against it. Seeing, then, that God prefers his religion; seeing God prefers a tender conscience; seeing they that make themselves fools for the kingdom of heaven are wisest; and that the poor man that loveth Christ is richer than the greatest man in the world that hates him: Shame, depart, thou art an enemy to my salvation."
