Those who are able to do thishave been more appropriately styled strong minds, _esprits forts_, thanis imagined. For the commonplace mind, however, there is nothing soabsurd or revolting but what, if inoculated in this way, the firmestbelief in it will take root. If, for example, the killing of a hereticor an infidel were an essential matter for the future salvation of thesoul, almost every one would make it the principal object of his life, and in dying get consolation and strength from the re...membrance of hishaving succeeded; just as, in truth, in former times almost everySpaniard looked upon an _auto da f�_ as the most pious of acts and onemost pleasing to God.
We have an analogy to this in India in the _Thugs_, a religious bodyquite recently suppressed by the English, who executed numbers of them. They showed their regard for religion and veneration for the goddessKali by assassinating at every opportunity their own friends andfellow-travellers, so that they might obtain their possessions, and theywere seriously convinced that thereby they had accomplished somethingthat was praiseworthy and would contribute to their eternal welfare.
