"Have you ever been around someone who was unbelievably good looking, extremely attractive, and a lot smarter than you are? When you’re in a social situation people want to listen to him, not you. Suppose you don’t care for that person, but you’re kept in a room with him twenty-four hours a day for thirty years. That would be an unbelievably difficult experience.

"Now, multiply those qualities ten thousand times, and that’s a little bit what God is like. He is real, real smart. He’s very attractive. He’s a lot more morally pure than we are. And if people do not fall passionately in love with him, then to force them to have to be around him forever - doing the kinds of things that people who love him would want to do - would be utterly uncomfortable."
