Any hope that America would finally grow up vanished with the rise of fundamentalist Christianity.

Macaulay, Thomas B.

38.

Here I swear, and as I break my oath may eternity blast me, here I swear that never will I forgive Christianity! It is the only point on which I allow myself to encourage revenge.

Phillips, James
