...the early Christians were a very mixed lot, and... some of them were more addicted to blackening their wives' eyes for tempting them, and wrecking the temples of the pagans, than to carrying out the precepts of the Sermon on the Mount. (B. Shaw, ‘The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism’, ch. 26) — ...среди первых христиан были разные люди... Некоторые предпочитали ставить фонари под глазами своих жен и разрушать языческие храмы и вовсе не думали претворять в жизнь заповеди "Нагорной проповеди"
