"Bien-être : état d'esprit produit par la contemplation des ennuis d'autrui." Ambrose Bierce
“Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another.”
This is from the man who said: "“You don't have to be stupid to be a Christian, ... but it probably helps.”
Actually starting to like the man as I read on ....
“Mayonnaise: One of the sauces which serve the French in place of a state religion.”
Religion, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.”
Go look for yourselves on this site : Ambrose Bierce quotes
It's always a challenge to me when I read intelligent criticism of Christianity, because I feel that we are partly responsible for the bad image Christianity has. If we were truly representative of God's Kingdom values, there would be much less legalism, hypocrisy, laziness, spiritual misery.
Or am I too much of an idealist ???
