"I can see your black soul a-burnin’. I see that innocent child in that there girl’s belly a-burnin’."
– John Steinbeck
The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 22. We see irony in use here because the Christian religion is used to hurt instead of heal people. Religious fanatic Lisbeth Sandry shouts this at Ma Joad and Rose of Sharon. She tells the pregnant girl that she is going to lose her baby because of her sins.
