I always love quoting saints. Because it shows what a bunch of stupid fucking assholes they really were. Saint my ass.
This is from "Saint" Augustine, from Treatise on the Correction of the Donatists:
Dick. Also clearly a raving lunatic. If nothing else, I "admire" him for basically admitting he's a hypocrite. "It's better to teach a man to worship than to force him! But, really, it's actually better to FORCE him to worship, because then he'll be more receptive to being taught!"
What a fuckin' idiot.
This is from "Saint" Augustine, from Treatise on the Correction of the Donatists:
Quote:It is indeed better (as no one ever could deny) that men should be led to worship God by teaching, than that they should be driven to it by fear of punishment or pain; but it does not follow that because the former course produces the better men, therefore those who do not yield to it should be neglected. For many have found advantage (as we have proved, and are daily proving by actual experiment), in being first compelled by fear or pain, so that they might afterwards be influenced by teaching, or might follow out in act what they had already learned in word."
