Sin

"With what a triumphant eye the philosopher of history describes how once all that we now call sin was morality! That is to say, murder, fornication; drunkenness, robbery, theft, and so on. Well, there is nothing to wonder at. Mankind has evolved from animalism, and is still evolving today. But let it be shown that what was once felt to be morality, and became known as sin, becomes morality again. Is it conceivable that mercy will one day be called sin? Is it conceivable that cruelty, robbery, fornication, slavery, idleness, will be called morality?"
