Among those who dislike oppression are many who like to oppress.
Napoleon Bonaparte
The nature of Christ's existence is mysterious, I admit but this mystery meets the wants of man. Reject it, and the world is an inexplicable riddle believe it, and the history of our race is satisfactorily explained.
