- Mikhail Bakunin

About this Quote

In this quote, Bakunin is expressing his belief that the idea of God is a barrier to human liberty. He argues that if God truly existed, the only way for him to really serve human liberty would be to cease to exist. This is because, in Bakunin's view, the concept of a greater power managing and determining human actions goes against the concept of individual freedom and autonomy. By eliminating the concept of God, people would be totally free to make their own choices and identify their own paths without the fear of divine punishment or intervention. Bakunin's words highlight his strong belief in the value of human liberty and the rejection of any external force that may restrict it.
