Thomas Paine writes of the Bible that "it would be more consistent that we call it

If Christians insisted that books which criticized their faith or holy book had to be
banned, such as Muslims are doing today, thousands of books would have to be banned,
including many of the most famous literary and philosophical works in the West. |
