So try to do good to men by doing violence to your feelings, holding your nose, and shutting your eyes, especially shutting your eyes.

Don't give in to such love: despise it always.

Many atheistic books and blogs seethe with anger. Remarkably, the authors do not limit their anger to Christians. They seem most livid with God.
