I had no idea, however, that in Pennsylvania, the cradle of toleration and freedom of religion, it [fanaticism] could have arisen to the height you describe.

I acknowledge myself a unitarian - Believing that the Father alone, is the supreme God, and that Jesus Christ derived his Being, and all his powers and honors from the Father. . . . There is not any reasoning which can convince me, contrary to my senses, that three is one, and one three.

My sense of humor keeps me from committing atrocities! I love rearranging words and destroying language and the established forms of art and musicchallenging the reasoning of others.
