Concerning the Cleverness of Christianity.—It is a master stroke of Christianity to so emphasize the unworthiness, sinfulness and degradation of men in general that contempt of one’s fellow creatures becomes impossible. “He may sin as much as he pleases, he is not by nature different from me. It is I who in every way am unworthy and contemptible.” So says the Christian to himself. But even this feeling has lost its keenest sting for the Christian does not believe in his individual degradation. He is bad in his general human capacity and he soothes himself a little with the assertion that we are all alike.
