If Jehovah cannot support his religion without going into partnership with a State Legislature, I think he ought to give it up.

If we should put god in the Constitution there would be no room left for man.

Let us agree not to step on each other’s feet.

I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot. Men are not superior by reason of accidents of race or color. They are superior who have the best heart-the best brain.

And yet this same Deity says to me, resist not evil; pray for those that despitefully use you; love your enemies, but I will eternally damn mine. It seems to me that even gods should practice what they preach.

And why does this same God tell me how to raise my children when he had to drown his?

The present is the necessary product of all the past, the necessary cause of all the future.
