Line 101: No free man needs a God
"When one considers the numberless thinkers and poets in the history of human creativity whose freedom of mind was enhanced rather than stunted by Faith, one is bound to question the wisdom of this easy aphorism." -pp.116
Interesting argument, but VN has mixed up two issues: the existence of God and the belief of the existence of God. What he observed could as easily be attributed to the latter. :-)
