Quote by Karen Armstrong
We have domesticated Gods transcendence. We often learn about God

We have domesticated Gods transcendence. We often learn about God at about the same time as we are learning about Santa Claus but our ideas about Santa Claus change, mature and become more nuanced, whereas our ideas of God can remain at a rather infantile level. – Karen Armstrong
