I Do Not Believe In God Because

Every Instinct That Is Found In Any Man Is In All Men. The Strength Of The Emotion May Not Be So Overpowering, The Barriers Against Possession Not So Insurmountable, The Urge To Accomplish The Desire Less Keen. With Some, Inhibitions And Urges May Be Neutralized By Other Tendencies. But With Every Being The Primal Emotions Are There. All Men Have An Emotion To Kill; When They Strongly Dislike Some One They Involuntarily Wish He Was Dead. I Have Never Killed Any One, But I Have Read Some Obituary Notices With Great Satisfaction.

Many Writers Claim That Nearly All Crime Is Caused By Economic Conditions, Or In Other Words That Poverty Is Practically The Whole Cause Of Crime. Endless Statistics Have Been Gathered On This Subject Which Seem To Show Conclusively That Property Crimes Are Largely The Result Of The Unequal Distribution Of Wealth. But Crime Of Any Class Cannot Be Safely Ascribed To A Single Cause. Life Is Too Complex, Heredity Is Too Variant And Imperfect, Too Many Separate Things Contribute To Human Behavior, To Make It Possible To Trace All Actions To A Single Cause.

I Am An Agnostic As To The Question Of God.
