ERICH FROMM
The truly religious person, that captures the essence of the monotheistic idea, does not pray for anything, do not expect anything from God, not God loves as a child to his father or mother has acquired the necessary humility to perceive its limitations, to the point of knowing who knows nothing about God. God becomes a symbol for her when the man in an earlier stage of its evolution, has expressed the totality of what works to reach the realm of the spiritual world, love, truth, justice. He has faith in the principles that 'God' represents, thinks the truth, live the love and justice, and believes that his whole life is valuable only insofar as it gives the opportunity to reach an ever fuller development of human powers, as the only reality that counts, the sole purpose of "fundamental importance "- and, finally, does not speak of God does not even mention his name. Loving God, if I used that word, would then look forward to the attainment of full capacity for love, for the realization of what "God" is in yourself.
