“Everywhere and always, since its very inception, Christianity has turned the earth into a vale of tears; always it has made of life a weak, diseased thing, always it has instilled fear in man, turning him into a dual being, whose life energies are spent in the struggle between body and soul. In decrying the body as something evil, the flesh as the tempter to everything that is sinful, man has mutilated his being in the vain attempt to keep his soul pure, while his body rotted away from the injuries and tortures inflicted upon it.” MenMadeSoulBodyEarthEvilEnergyChristianityStruggleTearsPureWeakFleshVainTortureInjuryDiseasedInception Author:Emma Goldman
“What kind of Christian are you? Did you ever lose a job, or lose a night's sleep, or lose a friend for God? If your Christianity never costs you a dollar, never cost you a friend, never cost any tears or broken heart, then can you really say that you love the Lord very much? To be a really good Christian is going to cost you.” IfsHeartKindChristianJobsNightLosesSleepChristianityLordTearsBrokenCostDollarsGood Christian Author:John R. Rice
“And there's always soma to calm your anger, to reconcile you to your enemies, to make you patient and long-suffering. In the past, you could only accomplish these things by making a great effort and after years of hard moral training. Now, you swallow two or three half-gramme tablets, and there you are. Anybody can be virtuous now. You can carry at least half your morality about in a bottle. Christianity without tears-that's what soma is.” WorldYearsLongTwoHardPastSufferingThreeEffortHalfMoralChristianityEnemyTearsMoralityTrainingBravePatientCalmAccomplishBottlesNew WorldVirtuousReconcileTabletsSomaBrave New WorldGreat EffortLong SufferingBrave New World HappinessBrave New World FreedomBrave New World CharacterBrave New World TechnologyBrave New World LeninaBrave New World ConsumerismBrave New World John Book:Brave New World Source: Brave New World

“Don't let yourself forget that God's grace rewards not only those who never slip, but also those who bend and fall. So sing! The song of rejoicing softens hard hearts.
