When people felt they had a right to seek out Christ before the torment, and in the fullness of his joy-it was too late; the cross had overcome Christ himself; it was Christ crucified that people continued to see and teach. And thus it is that religion came to plunge the world into gloom.

The Hindu religion appears ... as a cathedral temple, half in ruins, noble in the mass, often fantastic in detail but always fantastic with a significance - crumbling or badly outworn in places, but a cathedral temple in which service is still done to the Unseen and its real presence can be felt by those who enter with the right spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
And how high is Christ's cross? As high as the highest heaven, and the throne of God, and the bosom of the Father - that bosom out of which forever proceed all created things. Ay, as high as the highest heaven! for - if you will receive it - when Christ hung upon the cross, heaven came down on earth, and earth ascended into heaven.
Charles Kingsley
All religions worthy of the name are now making great efforts to purify their doctrines and return to their original standpoint, all except Christianity! You surely know that the nineteenth century Christianity is not the religion taught by Christ. Christ's religion has been changed and corrupted.
Virchand Gandhi
