Quote by Lenny Bruce
The thing with Catholicism, the same as all religions, is that it teaches what should be, which seems rather incorrect. This is what should be. Now, if you're taught to live up to a what should be that never existed -- only an occult superstition, no proof of this should be -- then you can sit on a jury and indict easily, you can cast the first stone, you can burn Adolf Eichmann, like that!
Summary
This quote criticizes Catholicism and all religions for teaching ideals and notions of what should be, even though there is no concrete evidence to support these beliefs. It suggests that promoting an unrealistic and unverifiable notion of what should exist can lead individuals to pass judgment easily, vilify others, and even justify extreme measures like burning Adolf Eichmann. The quote seems to question the validity and consequences of adhering to religious teachings without any tangible proof.
