“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 

“古人面對神就像罪人面對法官。對於現代人來說，角色被顛倒了：人成為了法官，神成為了被告。人自認為是一個寬容的法官：如果神可以給予一個合理的解釋為什麼祂作為神卻容許戰爭、貧窮和疾病，那麼人就願意聽審。審判的結果也許是神被算為無罪。但問題的是，人在法官的位置，神在被告的位置。”
