Subject: Memorable quotes from religious leaders

These are from Martin Luther:
"Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spritual things, but--more frequently than not --struggles against the Divine Word...."

"Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God."

"The damned w-hore Reason...."

"To be a Christian, you must pluck out the eye of reason."

"What shall we do with...the Jews?...set fire to their synagogues or schools and bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them."

"What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed."

"Even though they grow weary and wear themselves out with child-bearing, it does not matter; let them go on bearing children till they die, that is what they are there for." -Martin Luther, Works 20.84

"The word and works of God is quite clear, that women were made either to be wives or prostitutes." -Martin Luther, Works 12.94

And just for fun a few quotes from other good Christian men about women:

"Every woman should be filled with shame by the thought that she is a woman." -St. Clement of Alexandria

"Women should not be enlightened or educated in any way. They should, in fact, be segregated as they are the cause of hideous and involuntary erections in holy men." -St. Augustine

"Any woman who does not give birth to as many children as she is capable is guilty of murder." -St. Augustine

"Woman is a temple built over a sewer, the gateway to the devil. Women are the gate to hell." -Tertullian

And lest we think that no Christians think that way any more how about some more recent quotes:

"The demise of our community and culture is the fault of sissified men
who have been overly influenced by women." -Tony Evans, co-editor of "Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper", in The Progressive, August 1996

"I would shoot the bastards if I was allowed, because a woman can't
represent Christ. Men and women are totally different, that's not my fault, and Jesus chose men for his disciples." -Church of England vicar Rev. Anthony Kennedy, March 9,1994, regarding female anglican priests

"Inequality is the natural condition." --- Fr. Paul Marx, Human Life International Symposium on Human Sexuality

And if a woman gets upset about this attitude and wants better here are some kind Christian words for them:

"I listen to feminists and all these radical gals -- most of them are failures. They've blown it. Some of them have been married, but they married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men -- that's their problem." -Rev. Jerry Falwell

"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." -Pat Robertson, in a fundraising letter to the Iowa Committee to Stop the Equal Rights Amendment (The Washington Post, August 23, 1993)
