“I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ; I therefore hatethe corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial, and hypocritical Christianity of this land.

I look upon it as the climax of all misnomers, the boldest of all frauds, and the grossest of all libels.”
