“被告席上的上帝”

“The ancient man approached God (or even the gods) as the accused person approaches his judge. For the modern man the roles are reversed. He is the judge: God is in the dock. He is quite a kindly judge: If God should have a reasonable defense for being the god who permits war, poverty, and disease, he is ready to listen to it. The trial may even end in God’s acquittal. But the important thing is that Man is on the Bench and God in the Dock.” — C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock 

“古人面对神就像罪人面对法官。对于现代人来说,角色被颠倒了:人成为了法官,神成为了被告。人自认为是一个宽容的法官:如果神可以给予一个合理的解释为什么祂作为神却容许战争、贫穷和疾病,那么人就愿意听审。审判的结果也许是神被算为无罪。但问题的是,人在法官的位置,神在被告的位置。”
