1868	The world was made as much for animals as for man

			Full Idea: The world was made as much for the irrational animals as for men.
			From: Celsus (On the True Doctrine (Against Christians) [c.178], §V)
			A reaction: A good remark. It seems to be a classic distortion of European Christianity that the world is made for us, and that animals only exist to fill our sandwiches.

29. Religion / B. Monotheistic Religion / 4. Christianity / a. Christianity

1867	Christians presented Jesus as a new kind of logos to oppose that of the philosophers
