If a triangle could speak, it would say, that God is eminently triangular, while a circle would say that the divine nature is eminently circular.
as quoted in Huberman, The Quotable Atheist, p. 284
Most of them take it as a fundamental principle that Scripture is true and divine throughout. But of course this is the very thing that should emerge from a critical examination and understanding of Scripture. It would be much better to derive it from Scripture itself, which has no need of human fabrications, but they assume it at the very beginning as a rule of interpretation.
Theological-Political Treatise (preface: 9), p. 8
For in so far as it [a miracle] is conceived to destroy or interrupt the order of nature or conflict with its laws, to that extent … not only would it give us no knowledge of God, it would actually take away the knowledge we naturally have and make us doubt about God and all things.
