“Once we perceive that it is Judaism which is the root cause of antisemitism, otherwise irrational or inexplicable aspects of antisemitism become rationally explicable...Only something representing a threat to the core values, allegiances and beliefs of others could cause such universal, deep and lasting hatred.

“The Chief Justice's ... main point seemed to be that the references to God in the Pledge of Allegiance aren't really religious and therefore are not that important - something I would think would offend Christians who think it should stay because it is religious and does matter.

“Atheism ... in its philosophic aspect refuses allegiance not merely to a definite concept of God, but it refuses all servitude to the God idea, and opposes the theistic principle as such. Gods in their individual function are not half as pernicious as the principle of theism which represents the belief in a supernatural, or even omnipotent, power to rule the earth and man upon it. It is the absolutism of theism, its pernicious influence upon humanity, its paralyzing effect upon thought and action, which Atheism is fighting with all its power.” MenIdeasActionEarthHumanityFightingIndividualBeliefHalfPrinciplesAtheismInfluenceEffectsConceptsAspectFunctionRefusePositive AtheismDefiniteAllegianceServitudePerniciousTheismOmnipotentThoughts And ActionsPhilosophicAbsolutism Book:Mother Earth Bulletin Source: Mother Earth Bulletin
