26 INTOLERANCE
They say that only a bowl of gold can hold the milk of a lioness. A bowl of baser metal would crack as soon as the milk of a lioness is poured into it, for it is not worthy of its precious contents.
Even so it is with religion. It is too noble to be appreciated by those who are intolerant of other religions. A bigot thinks his devoutness can be measured by his hatred for other religions. His intolerance makes him as unworthy of his own religion as the cheap bowl is unworthy of the milk of the lioness.
