The Hated Me Without A Cause

Ah, Beloved, I will not tell you of man's adulteries and fornications and murders and poisonings and sodomies. I will not tell you of man's wars and bloodsheds and cruelties and rebellions. If I want to tell you of man's sin, I must tell you that man is a Deicide– that he put to death his God and slew his Savior. And when I have told you that, I have given you the essence of all sin– the masterpiece of crime– the very pinnacle and climax of the terrific pyramid of mortal guilt. Man outdid himself when he put his Savior to death and sin did out-Herod Herod when it slew the Lord of the Universe, the Lover of the race of man who came on earth to die.
