On the Christian Religion

...the great flock of crows flies over in the evening from a certain region of the sky; winds are announced, and other innumerable things of the same kind. By the common prophecy of men, too, true religion exists; for all people always and everywhere worship God for the sake of the future life; it is therefore true that God provides for us and that there will be another life. If only the most perfect species of animals holds the most true judgment of that which is most natural to it of all things. Now, it appears that the assertion of religion is of such a kind, not only from the fact that it belongs to all men alone, but also from the fact that all opinions, affections, customs, and laws of men are changed, with the exception of a certain common religion. If, therefore, anyone is found who is completely devoid of all religion, because it is beyond the nature of the human species, he is either a monster from the beginning, or he is stained by the contagion of another monster.

On the divinity of the soul from religion. Chapter II.

Our Plato, in the Protagoras, desires that the greatest evidence of our divinity be that we alone on earth, as if participants in a divine lot, recognize God because of a certain kinship, and we desire Him, and as our author we invoke Him, and we love Him as a father, and we venerate Him as a king, and we fear Him as a lord. For just as the sun is not seen without the sun, and just as the air is not heard without the air, and an eye full of light sees the light, and an ear full of air hears the resounding air, so God is not known without God. But a soul full of God raises itself toward God only as much as it recognizes God, having been illuminated by the divine light, and thirsts for Him, having been kindled by the divine heat. For it is not lifted to that which is above and infinite except by the virtue of what is superior and infinite; hence the soul is made a temple of God, as the Pythagorean Lysis thinks. For he considers that the temple of the eternal God will never fall; the human mind stirs God.
