The Lure Of Happiness And The Fear

As A Scientist, I Cannot Help Feeling That All Religions Are On A Tottering Foundation . . . I Am An Infidel Today. I Do Not Believe What Had Been Served To Me To Believe. I Am A Doubter, A Questioner, A Skeptic. When It Can Be Proved To Me That There Is Immortality, That There Is Resurrection Beyond The Gates Of Death, Then Will I Believe. Until Then, No.

Let Us Read The Bible Without The Ill-fitting Colored Spectacles Of Theology, Just As We Read Other Books, Using Our Judgment And Reason. . . .

Do Not Feed Children On Maudlin Sentimentalism Or Dogmatic Religion; Give Them Nature

Science, Which Is Only Another Name For Truth, Now Holds Religious Charlatans, Self-deceivers And God Agents In A Certain Degree Of Check--agents And Employees, I Mean, Of A Mythical, Medieval, Man-made God, Anthropomorphic In Constitution.

The Integrity Of One's Own Mind Is Of Infinitely More Value Than Adherence To Any Creed Or System. We Must Choose Between A Dead Faith Belonging To The Past And A Living, Growing Ever-advancing Science Belonging To The Future.
