Georg C. Lichtenberg Quotes:
Life: July 1, 1742 - February 24, 1799
Birthday: July 1
Death: February 24
There were honest people long before there were Christians and there are, God be praised, still honest people where there are no Christians. It could therefore easily be possible that people are Christians because true Christianity corresponds to what they would have been even if Christianity did not exist.
