Evil Deity

Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or deity:

    ... so far from entrenching human conduct within the gentle barriers of peace and love, religion has ever been, and now is, the deepest source of contentions, wars, persecutions for conscience sake, angry words, angry feelings, backbitings, slanders, suspicions, false judgments, evil interpretations, unwise, unjust, injurious, inconsistent actions.
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    Man disavows, the Deity disowns me.
    Hell might afford my miseries a shelter;
    Therefore hell keeps her everhungry mouths all
    Bolted against me.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
