IF THERE IS A GOD, YOU OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO SEE HIM. IF NOT, LET HIM GO.


[In India] it has come down as a tradition that if there is a God, He must be your God and my God. To whom does the sun belong! You say Uncle Sam is everybody's uncle. If there is a God, you ought to be able to see Him. If not, let Him go.
