"Come, then, start with the birth itself the object of aversion, and run through your catalogue: the filth of the generative seeds within the womb, of the bodily fluid and blood; the loathsome, curdled lump of flesh which has to be fed for nine months off this same muck.... Undoubtedly you are also horrified at the infant, the infant which has been brought into the world together with its after birth." –Tertulian, to Marcion
