"If the Christian dogmas of a revengeful God, universal sinfullness, election by divine grace and the danger of eternal damnation were true, it would be a sign of weakmindness and lack of character not to become a priest, apostle or hermit and in fear and trembling to work solely on one's own salvation; it would be senseless to lose sight of one's enternal advantage for the sake of temporal comfort. If we may assume that these things are at any rate believed to be true, then the everday Christian cuts a miserable figure; he is a man who really cannot count to three, and who precisely on account of his spiritual imbecility does not deserve to be punished so harshly as Christianity promises to punish him."
