The quote is something like that:

"God does not exist, because if he would I would be him". or "There is no god, because if he would exist I could not stand that he's not me".

As far as I remember it was Aleister Crowley or Timothy Leary. But I'm not sure now.
If someone knows the correct quotation and the author, please answer me. Thanks!

Come on, someone help me!!!!

I did an extended search with no results. Perhaps someone else can find it.

Every so often I come back and pick at this one. I have a feeling that I have seen something that may be it (or very like it) at some point, but over 50 years of active reading means I've looked at a LOT of text. But don't give up hope, DarkestStar, someone may yet stumble across it. . .

Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spake Zarathustra:

"If there were a God, how could I endure not to be God? Though I drew this conclusion, it now draws me."

Ooooh! Cool!

It's probably a translator issue--the Project Gutenberg text in English, showing Thomas Common as translator, renders it as follows:

"But that I may reveal my heart entirely unto you, my friends: IF there were gods, how could I endure it to be no God! THEREFORE there are no Gods.

Yea, I have drawn the conclusion; now, however, doth it draw me.--"

(from Discourse XXIV, "In the Happy Isles.")

nope, that's not what i'm looking for. I could find the quote on the web about a few months ago, but somehow I can't get the clue to it anymore. Almost sure it was Crowley who said that.

If God existed we would know about it (M.Contat)
