6902 | Catholicism concerns God in himself, Protestantism what God is for man [Feuerbach] |
Full Idea: Protestantism is no longer concerned, as Catholicism is, about what God is in himself, but about what he is for man. | |
From: Ludwig Feuerbach (Principles of Philosophy of the Future [1843], §02) | |
A reaction: It is certainly true that the major religions in their origins seem to be almost exclusively concerned with God alone, and have little interest in human life (or morality). |
