"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the bible is filled, it would seem more consistent that we called it the word of a demonthan the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind."
- Thomas Paine
(1737 - 1809),
'The Age of Reason'
