Robert A. Heinlein, science-fiction author

Men rarely (if ever) managed to dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child. -Robert A. Heinlein, science-fiction author (1907-1988)

That's the trouble with dreaming up a god rather than acknowledging God. Very serious consequences follow from idolatry. History, both ancient and modern, is largely made up of the story of these consequences.
