XXIII.--WHAT IS THE METAPHYSICAL GOD OF MODERN THEOLOGY?

The material Jupiter of the ancients could move, build up, destroy, and

sterile being. According to his supposed nature he can neither occupy

any place, nor move matter, nor produce a visible world, nor propagate

either men or Gods. The metaphysical God is a workman without hands; he

is able but to produce clouds, suspicions, reveries, follies, and

quarrels.
