Killing in the name…….

“Religion resides in the heart and not in the body, which is why the swords of kings and princes cannot reach it. The church can no more be built by persecution and violence than a wall can be built by cannon blasts. Therefore to kill a man is not to defend a doctrine but simply to kill a man.”

Sebastian Castellio (1515 – December 29, 1563)
