If God Really Existed, It Would Be

We Are Materialists And Atheists, And We Glory In The Fact.

Bourgeois Patriotism, As I View It, Is Only A Very Shabby, Very Narrow, Very Mercenary, And Deeply Antihuman Passion, Having For Its Object The Preservation And Maintenance Of The Power Of The National State-that Is, The Mainstay Of All The Priveleges Of The Exploiters Throughout The Nation.

If God Is, Man Is A Slave; Now, Man Can And Must Be Free; Then, God Does Not Exist. I Defy Anyone Whomsoever To Avoid This Circle; Now, Therefore, Let All Choose.

It Clearly Follows That To Make Men Moral It Is Necessary To Make Their Social Environment Moral. And That Can Be Done In Only One Way; By Assuring The Triumph Of Justice, That Is, The Complete Liberty Of Everyone In The Most Perfect Equality For All. Inequality Of Conditions And Rights, And The Resulting Lack Of Liberty For All, Is The Great Collective Iniquity Begetting All Individual Iniquities.

God, Or Rather The Fiction Of God, Is Thus The Sanction And The Intellectual And Moral Cause Of All The Slavery On Earth, And The Liberty Of Men Will Not Be Complete, Unless It Will Have Completely Annihilated The Inauspicious Fiction Of A Heavenly Master.
