Christianity did its best to close the circle and even declared doubt a sin. Without reason, as if by the power of a miracle, we have to be led to believe and swim in it as if we were swimming in the purest, clearest, clearest element: if we were to search the land with our eyes, even the thought that maybe we should not only swim is the most subtle manifestation of our amphibious nature - already it would be a crime in itself! Let us note that in this way the justification of faith and all thinking about its origin are excluded, because this is a sinful thing. They want blindness, intoxication and eternal singing over the foams in which reason has drowned!

Hungarian

"A kereszténység mindent megtett a kör bezárása érdekében, és már a kételyt is bűnnek nyilvánította. Ész nélkül, mintegy a csoda erejével kell a hitbe vettetnünk és úgy úsznunk benne, mintha a legtisztább és legvilágosabb, legegyértelműbb elemben lubickolnánk: ha a szárazföldet kutatnánk tekintetünkkel, már a gondolat is, hogy esetleg nem csak úsznunk kellene, kétéltű természetünk legfinomabb jelentkezése - már önmagában is bűnnek számítana! Jegyezzük meg, hogy ekképp ki van zárva a hit megindoklása és az eredetén való minden gondolkodás, mert ez bűnös dolog. Vakságot akarnak, mámort és örök énekszót ama habok fölött, amelyekben az ész megfulladt!"
