About this Quote

This quote by Charles Bradlaugh is a criticism of Christianity and its followers. He is suggesting that Christians are too passive and submissive in their technique to life, counting on prayer and faith to get them through, instead of taking action and being proactive. He believes that Christians are too dependent on divine intervention and are not taking responsibility for their own lives. He contrasts this with his own technique, which is to take control of his life and stride through it on his own 2 feet. He is recommending that Christians need to be more independent and take ownership of their lives, rather than depending on God to offer them with responses. He is advocating for a more active technique to life, rather than a passive one. Eventually, he is suggesting that Christians ought to take more responsibility for their own lives and be more independent in their decision-making.
