This complaining rambling rubbish is the substitute which has taken the place of love.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
