Quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

He who begins by loving Christianity better than truth will proceed by loving his own sect better than Christianity and end in loving himself better than all.

He who begins by loving Christianity better than truth will

Summary

This quote suggests that if someone's personal bias or attachment to a particular belief system, such as Christianity, is prioritized over the pursuit of truth, they may gradually develop a stronger loyalty to their own specific sect within Christianity. Over time, this self-centered focus on their own group may surpass their love for Christianity as a whole. Ultimately, they may become so self-absorbed that they prioritize their own interests and desires above everything else, losing sight of the broader principles and values that their faith originally embodied.
