Most People’s Religion Is What They Want

A Flower Is An Educated Weed.

If The Creatures With Fur/feathers/fins Are Our Brothers In A Lower Stage Of Development Then Their Very Weakness And Inability To Protest, Demands That Man Should Refrain From Torturing Them For The Mere Possibility Of Obtaining Some Knowledge Which He Believes May Be To His Own Interest.

Those Who Take Refuge Behind Theological Barbed Wire Fences, Quite Often Wish They Could Have More Freedom Of Thought, But Fear The Change To The Great Ocean Of Truth As They Would A Cold Bath.

The Idea That A Good God Would Send People To A Burning Hell Is Utterly Damnable To Me. I Don't Want To Have Anything To Do With Such A God. But While I Cannot Conceive Of Such A God, I Do Recognize The Existence Of A Great Universal Power - A Power Which We Cannot Even Begin To Comprehend And Might As Well Not Attempt To. It May Be A Conscious Mind, Or It May Not. I Don't Know. As A Scientist I Should Like To Know, But As A Man, I Am Not So Vitally Concerned.

The Idea That A Good God Would Send People To A Burning Hell Is Utterly Damnable To Me - The Raving Of Insanity, Superstition Gone To Seed! I Want No Part Of Such A God.
