My Objection To The Church Isn't That The Preachers Are Cruel, Hypocritical, Actually Wicked, Though Some Of Them Are That, Too - Think Of How Many Are Arrested For Selling Fake Stock, For Seducing 14-year-old Girls In Orphanages Under Their Care, For Arson, For Murder.

My Chief Objection Is That 99% Of Sermons And Sunday School Teachings Are So Agonizingly Dull.
