The basis of your religion is injustice. The Son of God, the pure, the immaculate, the innocent, is sacrificed for the guilty.

More from Lord Byron
"The only thing that consoles me for the follies of mankind is the contemplation of their virtues."
"The great advantage of being a fool is that one is always content with oneself."
"I wish he would explain his explanation."
"What men call gallantry and gods adultery Is much more common where the climate's sultry."
"Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves."
About Lord Byron (1788-1824)
English Romantic poet whose Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-18) and Don Juan (1819-24) made him a continent-wide celebrity; died at Missolonghi fighting for Greek independence. Closely associated with Percy Bysshe Shelley (Geneva summer companion and fellow second-generation Romantic) and John Keats (younger Romantic Byron mocked but later admired). For an intellectual contrast, see William Wordsworth, Lake Poet of pious nature-worship — Byron's mockery of 'the Lakers' Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey runs through Don Juan as a sustained literary feud across hundreds of stanzas. The cleanest Romantic-internal split between sincere-pastoral and cynical-worldly poetics.
