Westerners preach the "love of God" and "love of man", and they seem really to believe it. And yet they wage wars with gunboats and cannons to conquer people by force, as well as imposing opium, a poison worse than plague, on the Chinese — all for profit. It looks as though the love of God is less real than the love of profit.
