Mark Twain Quotes, Children Quotes, Religion Quotes

In all the ages the Roman Church has owned slaves, bought and sold slaves, authorized and encouraged her children to trade in them. . . . There were the texts; there was no mistaking their meaning; . . . she was doing in all this thing what the Bible had mapped out for her to do. So unassailable was her position that in all the centuries she had no word to say against human slavery.

And by the same criterion, no sentence which purports to describe the nature of a transcendent god can possess any literal significance.
