The human race in the course of time has taken the liberty of softening and softening Christianity until at last we have contrived to make it exactly the opposite of what it is in the New Testament.

Christianity demands the crucifixion of the intellect.

To the frivolous Christianity is certainly not glad tidings, for it wishes first of all to make them serious.

In order to swim one takes off all one's clothes--in order to aspire to the truth one must undress in a far more inward sense, divest oneself of all one's inward clothes, of thoughts, conceptions, selfishness etc., before one is sufficiently naked.

Therefore do not deceive yourself! Of all deceivers fear most yourself!
