Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Baruch Spinoza said
religion Faith as a thing a society runs on, and what has been tried in its place.
I have often wondered, that persons who make a boast of professing the Christian religion, namely, love, joy, peace, temperance, and charity to all men, should quarrel with such rancorous animosity, and display daily towards one another such bitter hatred, that this, rather than the virtues they claim, is the readiest criterion of their faith.
