Famous quotes containing the word christianity:

    “Give me Catholicism every time. Father Cheeryble with his thurible; Father Chatterjee with his liturgy. What fun they have with all their charades and conundrums! If it weren’t for the Christianity they insist on mixing in with it, I’d be converted tomorrow.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “The conversion of a savage to Christianity is the conversion of Christianity to savagery.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
