Isaac Bashevis Singer - Man prays for mercy, but ......


Man prays for mercy, but is unwilling to extend it to others.
Why should man then expect mercy from God?
It's unfair to expect something that you are not willing to give...
I'm not against organized religion, but I don't take part in it.
Especially when they interpret their religious books as being in favor of meat-eating.
Sometimes they say He wants sacrifice and the killing of animals.
If this is true, then I would never be able to comply.
But I think God is wiser and more merciful than that.
(Isaac Bashevis Singer)
