"A form of religion practiced by the millions, but as misunderstood,
and unreal to the majority as gravitation is to the untutored savage.
We profess to live in the atmosphere of Christianity, yet our acts
are as barbarous as if we never knew Christ. He taught us to love,
yet we hate; to forgive, yet we revenge; to be merciful, yet we
condemn and punish, and still we are Christians. If hell is what we
are taught it is, then there will be more Christians there than
days in all creation. To be a true Christian one must be like Christ
and practice Christianity, not as the Bishop does, but as he says,
for if our lives were to be patterned after the other fellow's all
of us, Bishop, Priest and Layman would ultimately meet around the
furnace of hell, and none of us, because of our sins, would see salvation."

- Marcus Garvey
