Annie BesantThe orthodox believers in God are divided into two camps, one of which maintains that the existence of God is as demonstrable as any mathematical proposition, while the other asserts that his existence is not demonstrable to the intellect.
Annie BesantThe position of the Atheist is a clear and reasonable one. I know nothing about โGodโ and therefore I do not believe in Him or in it; what you tell me about your God is selfโcontradictory, and therefore incredible. I do not deny โGod,โ which is an unknown tongue to me; I do deny your God, who is an impossibility. I am without God.
Annie BesantDeath consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing. The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and - as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis - emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness.
