It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. Several generations have elapsed since the nations of the West have drawn the sword in religious controversy, and the evil memories of the gloomy past have soon faded in the strong, clear light of Rationalism and human sympathy.
#STORM LORD HOMM VII CODE#
A code of honour not less punctilious than that of old Spain, is supported by vendettas as implacable as those of Corsica. The love of plunder, always a characteristic of hill tribes, is fostered by the spectacle of opulence and luxury which, to their eyes, the cities and plains of the south display. That religion, which above all others was founded and propagated by the sword - the tenets and principles of which are instinct with incentives to slaughter and which in three continents has produced fighting breeds of men - stimulates a wild and merciless fanaticism. The strong aboriginal propensity to kill, inherent in all human beings, has in these valleys been preserved in unexampled strength and vigour. Every influence, every motive, that provokes the spirit of murder among men, impels these mountaineers to deeds of treachery and violence.4.1 Churchill's Finest Hour (November 27, 2009).
