Atheist Editor Ernest V. Sterry of the Christian Enquirer went to jail at Toronto last week, as he expected he would do when he called God "an irate old party," "this touchy Jehovah"; snorted at His preference "for roast cutlet to that of boiled cabbage" (competitive sacrifices of Abel and Cain), "His whims, freaks and fancies," "His frenzied, megalomaniac boastings."
