Thomas Hobbes — "To believe in God, is to believe that there is a God; that is to say, to assent …"

To believe in God, is to believe that there is a God; that is to say, to assent to this proposition, that God is. Not that I understand what God is, but that I believe that he is; and therefore, that he is to be worshipped, and obeyed, as that which is the first cause of all things, and whose power is irresistible.
