“Christianity persecuted, tortured, and burned. Like a hound it tracked the very scent of heresy. It kindled wars, and nursed furious hatreds and ambitions. It sanctified, quite like Mohammedism, extermination and tyranny. All this would have been impossible if, like Buddhism, it had looked only for peace and the liberation of souls. It looked beyond; it dreamt of infinite blisses and crowns it should be crowned with before an electrified universe and an applauding God... Buddhism had tried to quiet a sick world with anesthetics; Christianity sought to purge it with fire.” IfsWorldShouldHas BeensWarSoulReligionUniverseChristianityFireImpossibleBuddhismMoralityQuietAmbitionHatredSickInfiniteTyrannyLiberationBlissCrownsBurnedScentHeresyFuriousPersecutedHoundsExterminationAnestheticsSick World Author:George Santayana
“If positive Christianity means love of one's neighbour, i.e. the tending of the sick, the clothing of the poor, the feeding of the hungry, the giving of drink to those who are thirsty, then it is we who are the more positive Christians. For in these spheres the community of the people of National Socialist Germany has accomplished a prodigious work.” PeopleIfsGivingMeanChristianCommunityPoorChristianityAtheismDrinkSickHungryGermanyAccomplishedSpheresClothingsSocialistFeedingNeighbourThirstyProdigiousMean Love Book:The Speeches of Adolf Hitler: April 1922-August 1939 Source: The Speeches of Adolf Hitler: April 1922-August 1939
“Christianity has the rancor of the sick at its very core-the instinct against the healthy, against health. Everything that is well-constructed, proud, gallant and, above all, beautiful gives offense to its ears and eyes.” GivingWellsEyeBeautifulChristianityProudHealthyEarsSickInstinctCoreOffenseGallantRancor Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“Among the gods, there is a dispute as to which one of them originally thought of Christianity; or, as they call it, the Great Leg Pull. Apollo has the best claim, but a sizeable minority support Pluto, ex-God of the Dead, on the grounds that he has a really sick sense of humour. How would it be, suggested the unidentified god, if first we tell them all to love their neighbour, pack in the killing and thieving, and be nice to each other. Then we let them start burning heretics.” IfsFirstsChristianitySupportNiceHumourSickClaimsKillingLegsBurningMinoritiesPacksBeing NiceExesDisputesNeighbourApolloHereticPluto Author:Tom Holt
