From The Evolution of God by Robert Wright

"Though we can no more conceive of God than we can conceive of an electron, believers can ascribe properties to God … One of the more plausible such properties is love. And maybe, in this light, the argument for God is strengthened by love's organic association with truth … You might say that love and truth are the two primary manifestations of divinity in which we can partake, and that by partaking in them we become truer manifestations of the divine. Then again, you might not say that. The point is just that you wouldn't have to be crazy to say it.
