Eugene Debs on Jesus
← Back to Jesus Profile
“Jesus was not divine because he was less human than his fellowmen but for the opposite reason that he was supremely human, and it is this of which his divinity consists, the fullness and perfection of him as an intellectual, moral and spiritual human being.”
“He has been disfigured and distorted by cunning priests to serve their knavish ends and by ignorant idolaters to give godly sanction to their blind bigotry and savage superstition. He has persisted in spite of two thousand years of theological emasculation to destroy his revolutionary personality.”
