We are defined by how we use our power.

Under any religion, the preestablished impersonal code transcends the right of the individual to explore, experience, and marvel at the mysteries of his own life and death. Religions introduce us not to God but to slavery. They deprive us of our freedom to explore our own souls and to discover the endless and wondrous possibilities presented to us by an infinite universe. And most often the method of religions is fear, not love. They demand blind obedience and often obedience to dreadful dogma.

When any system has for its goal the advancement of the system over the betterment of its individual members, such a system is embedded in slavery.

The so-called godly man may be more likely to do serious wrong than a man who deeply questions himself. The 'godly man' often zealously follows religious precepts that, in the end, justify an unjust injury to others, while the questioning man, addressing his own conscience, may have the better chance to consider all the circumstances and come to the just decision.

The way people move is their autobiography in motion.

Our willingness to openly reveal our feelings in our argument nearly always builds our credibility.

Arguments do not erase prejudice any more than arguments erase scars, whether psychological or physical.
