Quote by Edgar Allan Poe

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this -- that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made -- not to understand -- but to feel -- as crime.

A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this -- that

Summary

This quote suggests that one compelling reason to embrace Christianity is the idea that only acts against charity, or love for others, can deeply resonate with individuals on their deathbeds as genuinely immoral deeds. It implies that sins against love and kindness hold a unique weight in our conscience and can elicit true remorse and recognition of wrongdoing in our final moments. This notion emphasizes the importance of practicing love and compassion towards others, as it holds a profound significance in both our moral and spiritual journey.
