The quote "There's a duality of a guy calling on God: 'Where are you when I need you?' and then, at the same time, 'God helps those who help themselves.' I think that contradiction does exist in all of us, those of faith and those who profess to have no faith." is attributed to Joe Carnahan, an American filmmaker and screenwriter. In this statement, Carnahan reflects on the paradox of human nature—the tension between relying on divine help in times of crisis and the self-reliant mindset that encourages individuals to take responsibility for their own lives. He points out that this internal contradiction exists not only in those who profess faith but also in those who might not believe in a higher power, illustrating the complexity of human belief and behavior.
