WHAT IS THIS QUOTE FROM?“The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over
the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked; His wrath towards you burns like fire; He looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire . . . you are ten thousand times more abominable in His eyes, as the most hateful and venomous serpent is in ours. You have offended Him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince. And yet, it is nothing but His hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment.”

I believe it is existentialism but I'm not sure. It could also be nihilism or objectivism depending on which philosopher, time period and context of your question. But I'm like 98% sure it's existentialism.
