It is a fraud of the Christian system to call the sciences human invention; it is only the application of them that is human.

...the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.

It is the duty of every man, as far as his ability extends, to detect and expose delusion and error.

I had come to realize the importance of the Nation, and of shared, communal, social responsibility, to be held as equally important as individual concerns. The elderly, the widowed, newly married couples, the poor, the unemployed, disbanded soldiers and children, who would be required to attend school, must be provided for from state funds. And all this support is not the nature of charity, but of a right.

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.

I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.

It is the duty of every true Deist to vindicate the moral justice of God against the evils of the Bible.
