Let them call me rebel, and welcome, I feel no concern from it.

I bring reason to your ears, and, in language as plain as ABC, hold up truth to your eyes.

It is never to be expected in a revolution that every man is to change his opinion at the same moment. There never yet was any truth or any principle so irresistibly obvious that all men believed it at once. Time and reason must cooperate with each other to the final establishment of any principle; and therefore those who may happen to be first convinced have not a right to persecute others, on whom conviction operates more slowly. The moral principle of revolutions is to instruct, not to destroy.

That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not.

Kill the king but spare the man.

And to read the Bible without horror, we must undo everything that is tender, sympathizing and benevolent in the heart of man.

Yet this is trash that the Church imposes upon the world as the Word of God; this is the collection of lies and contradictions called the Holy Bible! This is the rubbish called Revealed Religion!
