Famous quotes containing the word church:
“I condemn Christianity. I raise against the Christian church the most terrible accusation that any accuser has ever uttered. It is to me the ultimate conceivable corruption. It has possessed the will to the final corruption that is even possible. The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity: it has turned every value into a disvalue, every truth into a falsehood, every integrity into a vileness of the soul.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)

Now I dont pretend to be no preacher, but Ive read the Good Book from cover to cover and back again, and I nary found one word agin dancin. So well commence by havin a dad blasted good dance.”
—Samuel G. Engel (19041984)
