'Christendom gave itself up to the adoration of brutal force, as represented by a church backed up by Constantine. Since then, among the thousand rites, dogmas, and ceremonies copied from paganism, the church can claim but one invention as original with her, namely, the doctrine of eternal damnation, and one custom, that of the anathema.' - H. P. (Isis Unveiled, 1877)
