The world was made as much for animals as for man
|
|
|
|
Full Idea:
The world was made as much for the irrational animals as for men.
|
|
|
|
From:
Celsus (On the True Doctrine (Against Christians) [c.178], §V)
|
|
|
|
A reaction:
A good remark. It seems to be a classic distortion of European Christianity that the world is made for us, and that animals only exist to fill our sandwiches.

Christians presented Jesus as a new kind of logos to oppose that of the philosophers
|
|
|
|
Full Idea:
Christians put forth this Jesus not only as the son of God, but as the very Logos - not the pure and holy Logos known to the philosophers, but a new kind of Logos.
