These are the times that try men's souls.

atheist heart mean
Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid or produces only atheists or fanatics. As an engine of power, it serves the purpose of despotism, and as a means of wealth, the avarice of priests, but so far as respects the good of man in general it leads to nothing here or hereafter.
atheist philosophy men

Man must go back to nature for information.

Customs will often outlive the remembrance of their origin.
atheist motivation use
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
integrity ignorance character
A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.
contradiction new-testament absurdity
Is it not a species of blasphemy to call the New Testament revealed religion, when we see in it such contradictions and absurdities.
