“There are preachers who chat about God with a folksy familiarity that is breathtaking. They would be modest enough to confess they haven’t the foggiest idea what is going on in the head of their family pet but lay claim to sure knowledge of what their Pal Up There is thinking about the National Economy, the Middle East conflict or even the future of Mankind.”
— Colin Morris in The Word About Words as quoted in The God of the Towel by Jim McGuiggan, p. 2
