"Is it possible that an infinite God created this world simply to be the
dwelling-place of slaves and serfs? Simply for the purpose of raising
orthodox Christians? That he did a few miracles to astonish them? That all
the evils of life are simply his punishments, and that he is finally
going to turn heaven into a kind of religious museum filled with Baptist
barnacles, petrified Presbyterians, and Methodist mummies?"
[Robert G. Ingersoll]
