Quote of the Day: 16 April 2021 #QotD

“[T]he essence of religious persecution is this: that the man who happens to have material power in the State, either by wealth or by official position, should govern his fellow-citizens not according to their religion or philosophy, but according to his own.” -G. K. Chesterton
“[T]he essence of religious persecution is this: that the man who happens to have material power in the State, either by wealth or by official position, should govern his fellow-citizens not according to their religion or philosophy, but according to his own.” -G. K. Chesterton
[People seem to misunderstand this. I think this is the best description that I have yet encountered. And it includes religious persecutions of all types.]
