The pagan gods cared nothing for how their worshippers lived, only for being honoured and feared
Drawn from what Augustine of Hippo said
What Augustine of Hippo actually said
- Augustine of Hippo Christian philosopher and theologian (354 to 430)
But in all this the demons only looked after their own interest, and cared not at all how their worshippers lived, or rather were at pains to induce them to lead an abandoned life, so long as they paid these tributes to their honour, and regarded them with fear.
