Quote 98 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

[Pepys visits a Jewish Synagogue.] But Lord, to see the
disorder, laughing, sporting, and no attention, but confusion
in all their service, more like Brutes then people knowing the
true God, would make a man forswear ever seeing them more; and
endeed, I never did see so much, or could have imagined there
had been any religion in the whole world so absurdly performed
as this.
