Felipe Fernandez-Armesto:
“Even when Christianity began to become fashionable among
the well educated and to capture the allegiance of states and empires,
Christians' strong advocacy of peace and celibacy ought, by rights, to have
doomed them to defeat or self-extinction. So do not dismiss this religion
because most of it is skin-deep. Its very survival is surprising; its spread - however
superficial - is startling: miraculous, some would say.”
“I’m weighing the risk of brain damage against a life of celibacy.”
