Christianity is most admirably adapted to the training of slaves, to the perpetuation of a slave society; in short, to the very conditions confronting us to-day.... The rulers of the earth have realized long ago what potent poison inheres in the Christian religion.

I believe that there can be no real wealth, social wealth, so long as it rests on human lives — young lives, old lives and lives in the making.
