“For the first time I understood the dogma of eternal pain... For the first time my imagination grasped the height and depth of the Christian horror. Then I said: "It is a lie, and I hate your religion. If it is true, I hate your God." From that day I have had no fear, no doubt. For me, on that day, the flames of hell were quenched. From that day I have passionately hated every orthodox creed. That Sermon did some good.” IfsFirstsSaidChristianPainLyingHateEvilImaginationReligiousHellDoubtHorrorEternalUnderstoodFirst TimeI HateDepthHatedFlamesHeightNo DoubtOrthodoxCreedsDogmaHate YouNo FearSermonsMy ImaginationI Hate You Author:Robert Green Ingersoll
