Habits of thought persist through the centuries; and while a healthy brain may reject the doctrine it no longer believes, it will continue to feel the same sentiments formerly associated with that doctrine.

No matter what the belief, if it had modestly said, 'This is our best thought, go on, think farther!' then we could have smoothly outgrown our early errors and long since have developed a religion such as would have kept pace with an advancing world. But we were made to believe and not allowed to think. We were told to obey, rather than to experiment and investigate.

The peculiarity of all death-based religions is that their subject-matter is entirely outside of facts. Men could think and think, talk and argue, advance, deny, assert, and controversy, and write innumerable books, without being hampered at any time by any fact.

Legitimate sex-competition brings out all that is best in man.

What we do modifies us more than what is done to us.

If a woman is really injured by her marriage, she should sue under the employer liability act. She should claim damages--not alimony.

A normal feminine influence in recasting our religious assumptions will do more than any other one thing to improve the world.
