    “The gloomy theology of the orthodox—the Calvinists—I do not, I cannot believe. Many of the notions—nay, most of the notions—which orthodox people have of the divinity of the Bible, I disbelieve. I am so nearly infidel in all my views, that too, in spite of my wishes, that none but the most liberal doctrines can command my assent.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?”
