Quote #5 on Religious Struggle Quotes >> Religious Powers and Cruelty
“God! God! His voice resounded from pole to pole, and behold, men fell to quarreling, hating, and cutting one anothers' throats. And they have been doing the same thing ever since that abominable name was pronounced and they will go on doing it till the process of the ages is accomplished.
[Part 3: Modern Atheism, Chapter 8: The Enlightenment, Page 106.]”
