Joris-Karl Huysmans Quotes

He Did Not Affirm The Revolting Conception Of Original Sin, Nor Did He Feel Inclined To Argue That It Is A Beneficent God Who Protects The Worthless And Wicked, Rains Misfortunes On Children, Stultifies The Aged And Afflicts The Innocent. He Did Not Exalt The Virtues Of A Providence Which Has Invented That Useless, Incomprehensible, Unjust And Senseless Abomination, Physical Suffering. Far From Seeking To Justify, As Does The Church, The Necessity Of Torments And Afflictions, He Cried, In His Outraged Pity: If A God Has Made This World, I Should Not Wish To Be That God. The World's Wretchedness Would Rend My Heart.
