Hannay writes, All the ideas in the Bible, the nature of the Gods, the stories of creation, miracles, life and death, the manner of sacrificing, worshipping, vowing, building alters, arks, tabernacles, and temples, the sacrifices or feasts in these temples, their dress, altar furniture, and symbolism, in fact the entire religion as taught us in the Bible, are absolutely and totally founded upon and saturated with Phallism; and the Phallic cult is that on which Christianity has been founded. Phallism is sex symbolism, and all creative power in a god is symbolized by the actual facts of creation of life in nature by means of the organs of sex. And in the preface to his book on Christianity he wrote, Any work on the symbolism of religion, without treating its phallic basis, would be like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.
