Immanuel Kant Quotes on Religion

4 quotes

  1. The wish to talk to God is absurd. We cannot talk to one we cannot comprehend - and we cannot comprehend God; we can only believe in Him. The uses of prayer are thus only subjective.

  2. Religion is too important a matter to its devotees to be a subject of ridicule. If they indulge in absurdities, they are to be pitied rather than ridiculed.

  3. Metaphysics has as the proper object of its enquiries three ideas only: God, freedom, and immortality. (B 395)

  4. Apart from moral conduct, all that man thinks himself able to do in order to become acceptable to God is mere superstition and religious folly.
