It is a dogma of the Roman Church that the existence of God can be proved by natural reason. Now this dogma would make it impossible for me to be a Roman Catholic. If I thought of God as another being like myself, outside myself, only infinitely more powerful, then I would regard it as my duty to defy him.
Ludwig WittgensteinA picture held us captive. And we could not get outside it, for it lay in our language and language seemed to repeat it to us inexorably.
