I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ; I therefore hatethe corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial, and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity. I look upon it as the climax of all misnomers, the boldest of all frauds, and the grossest of all libels. β¨ Frederick Douglass (2009). Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave: A Penguin Enriched eBook Classic, p.132, Penguin
