*** Yes indeed.
Here is one, by Iain from Paisley, ( Or is it Iain Paisley)
UK:
"Mankind will only really be free, once the last
king was strangled with the entrails of the last priest."
Perhaps the Moslem clerics could have some revenge quoting Mark Twain:
"Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat." - Mark Twain.
"The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive...but in spite of their religion, not because of it. The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve. And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born." - Mark Twain, A Biography. (in today's society - add stem cell research - get the picture).
"The Bible has noble poetry in it... and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies." - Mark Twain.
"If there is a God, he is a malign thug." - Mark Twain.
"During many ages there were witches. The Bible said so. The Bible commanded that they should not be allowed to live. Therefore the Church, after doing its duty in but a lazy and indolent way for 800 years, gathered up its halters, thumbscrews, and firebrands, and set about its holy work in earnest. She worked hard at it night and day during nine centuries and imprisoned, tortured, hanged, and burned whole hordes and armies of witches, and washed the Christian world clean with their foul blood. Then it was discovered that there was no such thing as witches, and never had been. One does not know whether to laugh or to cry."
Islam is less than perfect - so many would argue is Christianity
