“We should assemble all those who are pure and cannot abide other faiths, put them all in rockets, and fire them into space.”
Wole Soyinka, via givemesomethingtoread
This is the best quote on religion I’ve seen since Zora Neale Hurston’s “Gods always behave like the people who make them.” Mostly because it comprehends the connection between purity and lack of tolerance, but partly because firing people into space is funny and Soyinka has (obviously) a fabulous sense of the dramatic.
