“Christ did not come to civilize. He came to save. Civilization is not the solution; it does not destroy the works of the devil. All civilization aims at world improvement, at the gradual elimination of the curse; it is a process of evolution. It is like a man who is suffering from a terrible disease, and the physician who comes to help him gives him a salve to apply. He treats the skin symptoms but the source of the disease he never considers and never touches. Such is a boasted and progressive civilization. It is a delusion.” MenWorldGivingDoeHelpingChristianSufferingProcessChristSourceEvolutionTerribleCivilizationDiseaseSolutionsDevilSkinsTreatsAimImprovementCurseDelusionProgressivePhysiciansSymptomsElimination Author:Arno C.

“I am a terrible and lazy Christian. I do not believe that the Bible is the literal word of God. I just skip about a third of it. I love the parts I love so much, but I find a lot of it just appalling.

“There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing, and predatory. The invention of hell measured by our Christianity of today, bad as it is, hypocritical as it is, empty and hollow as it is, neither the deity nor his son is a Christian, nor qualified for that moderately high place. Ours is a terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilled.” WorldTodayChristianChristianityHellBloodSonTerribleComfortEmptyInventionInnocentSwimBloodyDeitiesQualifiedHollowNotableHypocriticalGrabbingHigh PlacesPredatory Author:Mark Twain
“I think poetry has started to take on a supplementary role of prayer for some people. The churches, I think, including my own, are terrible at teaching people how to pray.

“I condemn Christianity; I bring against the Christian Church the most terrible of all accusations that an accuser has ever had in his mouth. It is, to me, the greatest of all imaginable corruptions; it seeks to work the ultimate corruption, the worse possible corruption. The Christian Church has left nothing untouched by its depravity; it has turned every value into worthlessness, and every truth into a lie, and every integrity into baseness of soul.” SoulChristianLyingValuesLeftChurchReligiousChristianityTerribleIntegrityMouthsUltimateCorruptionAccusationDepravityChristian ChurchWorthlessnessBasenessAccusers Book:Delphi Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche (Illustrated): Friedrich Nietzsche Source: Delphi Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche (Illustrated): Friedrich Nietzsche
