"Since God was caused by our thinking Him, then He must only be thought and not a reality, a mere subjective projection of our own ego. Since He is not real, then He does not stand against whatever we desire to do with the machine of nature, especially the machinery of the human body. We are free to manipulate it at will, and remake human nature according to our own plans, so that we can really say in a far deeper way that Descartes, 'I think, therefore I am.' Rather than taking ourselves to be made in the image of God with all the moral limitations that entails, we believe that we are self-creators with no limit but our own ever-increasing power." from
