英语格言警句_Christianity_(C12)


I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty.

The church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually takes sides with the oppressors.... For my part, I would say, wele infidelity! Wele atheism! Wele anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by these Divines! They convert the very name of religion into an engine of tyranny and barbarous cruelty, and serve to confirm more infidels, in this age, than all the infidel writings of Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Bolingbroke put together have done!

Christianity has been buried inside the walls of churches and secured with the shackles of dogmatism. Let it be liberated to e into the midst of us and teach us freedom, equality and love.

- Minna Canth

The church has failed to follow her appointed pathway of separation, holiness, heavenliness and testimony to an absent but ing Christ; she has turned aside from that purpose to the work of civilizing the world, building magnificent temples, and acquiring earthly power and wealth, and, in this way, has ceased to follow in the footsteps of Him who had not where to lay His head.
