	Full Idea: Stoics teach that God is unity, and that he is called Mind, and Fate, and Jupiter, and by many names besides.

29. Religion / B. Monotheistic Religion / 4. Christianity / a. Christianity

20719	Punish the heretic, but be indulgent to the sinner [Weber]
	Full Idea: The rule of the Catholic church is 'punishing the heretic, but indulgent of the sinner'.
	From: Max Weber (The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism [1904], 1)
	A reaction: Weber cites this as if it is a folklore saying. It seems to fit the teachings of Jesus, who is intensely keen on unwavering faith, but very kind to those who stray morally. Hence Graham Greene novels, all about sinners.
