It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes.
Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.
Better fare hard with good men than feast it with bad.
Let them call me rebel, and welcome, I feel no concern from it.
My mind is my own church.
We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualities, but not on possibilities.
