"Christians have piled up such a heap of reasons for comfort in misfortune that we might be sorry in the end that we cannot lose a father or a mother once a week".
"The Greek religious festivals were joyous and celebrated the friendly gifts of nature; at the greatest Christian festivals people appear in church in the colour of mourning, with downcast eyes, and, celebrating universal brotherhood, many are afraid that through the brotherly goblet they might be infected with a venereal disease by someone who drank from it before. And lest one's mind remain... wrapped in a holy feeling, one must reach into one's pocket in the midst of things and put one's offering on a plate".
Schleiermacher: "Religion finds its realization in the relationship of absolute dependance".
Hegel's answer: "Then the best Christian might be the dog".
