In a world of cruelty, sympathy is a crime, and in a world of lies, truth is blasphemy.
Robert Green IngersollI have no reverence for any book that teaches a doctrine contrary to my reason; no reverence for any book that teaches a doctrine contrary to my heart; and, no matter how old it is, no matter how many have believed it, no matter how many have died on account of it, no matter how many live for it, I have no reverence for that book, and I am glad of it.
Robert Green IngersollMy objection to Christianity is that it is infinitely cruel, infinitely selfish, and, I might add, infinitely absurd.
