“I’m a member and preacher to that church where the blind don’t see and the lame don’t walk and what’s dead stays that way.”

“Whenever we read the obscene stories, voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistant that we called it the word of a Demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind, and, for my part, I sincerely detest it as I detest everything that is cruel.”
