Quotation #39567 from Contributed Quotations:

So that if a man rejects God, he will have to worship an idol that may be made of wood, gold, or ideas. So those who think they don't need God are really just idol worshipers, and that's what we should call them. But there must be true atheists too; only they're much more dangerous because they come to us with the name of God on their lips . . . There are some people like that, my friends, and there should be.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Adolescent (also translated as A Raw Youth)
Russian novelist (1821 - 1881)
