One cannot too soon forget his errors and misdemeanors. To dwell long upon them is to add to the offense.
If I meet the Christian Deity, I am lost: He is a tyrant and as such, is full of ideas of vengeance; His Bible speaks of nothing but fearful punishments. I never loved Him! I could never even believe that anyone did love Him sincerely. He is devoid of pity. . . . He will punish me in some abominable manner.
