Desperately Seeking Suckers
"Caesar was swimming in blood. Rome and the whole pagan world was mad. But those who had enough of lawlessness and madness, who were trampled on, whose lives were misery and oppression, all the weighed down, all the sad, all the unfortunate, came to hear the wonderful message about God, who out of love had given Himself to be crucified to redeem their sins. When they found a God whom they could love, they found that which their society could not give— happiness and love."
Henryk Sienkiewicz
