The usual complaint is, 'I have no other way of earning a living.' The harsh reply can be, 'Do you have to live?'
TertullianIt is a fundamental human right, a privilege of nature, that every man should worship according to his own convictions.
TertullianDo you not know that you are Eve? The judgment of God upon this sex lives on in this age; therefore, necessarily the guilt should live on also. You are the gateway of the devil; you are the one who unseals the curse of that tree, and you are the first one to turn your back on the divine law; you are the one who persuaded him whom the devil was not capable of corrupting; you easily destroyed the image of God, Adam. Because of what you deserve, that is, death, even the Son of God had to die.
Tertullian
