To repeat solid inferences from claims beyond anyone’s possible sensory experience ... to be so stupefied by the preceding that finding oneself a “genuine follower” is not a contradiction ... to pay tithe now for one’s inherited obligations to this institution of averaged minds ... what kind of religion is that? What kind of God does its herd-unity require? It has its claims however: it is mostly Good, for it requires all of the virtues except honesty.
