When lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday, cash me out.

The Christian churches were offered two things: the spirit of Jesus and the idiotic morality of Paul, and they rejected the higher inspiration... Following Paul, we have turned the goodness of love into a fiend and degraded the crowning impulse of our being into a capital sin.
