“The idea of an incarnation of God is absurd: why should the human race think itself so superior to bees, ants, and elephants as to be put in this unique relation to its maker? . . Christians are like a council of frogs in a marsh or a synod of worms on a dung-hill croaking and squeaking "for our sakes was the world created."

az isten megtestesülésének gondolata abszurd: miért gondolhatja az emberi faj magát annyira felsőbbrendűnek a méheknél, hangyáknál és elefántoknál, hogy ebbe az egyedülálló viszonyba kerüljön alkotójával? . . A keresztények olyanok, mint a békák tanácsa a mocsárban, vagy a férgek zsinata a trágyadombon, ahol kárognak és nyikorognak "értünk teremtették a világot".
absurdum rationi Incarnatione cur existimet se supra humanum apes formicae elephantorum est unica respectu declarari factorem . . sicut ranae Christianis concilium seu paludis synodum et vermes in sterquilinium cietis stridorque montis "propter nos creatum est saeculum."
