“For Jews, the Messiah has never come; for Christians, He has come but once; for modern man, He appears and disappears with increasing rapidity. The saviors of modern man, the "scientists" who promise salvation through the "discoveries" of ethology and sociology, psychology and psychiatry, and all the other bogus religions, issue forth periodically, as if selected by some Messiah-of-the-Month Club.” IfsMenChristianIssuesPsychologyModernMonthsPromiseDiscoveryScientistSalvationJewClubsDisappearSaviorSociologyPsychiatrySelectedMessiahModern Man Author:Thomas Szasz
“Truth is never our enemy, ever. So we should never freak out about people who claim to have discovered truth. If it's true truth, God owns it and has already accounted for it, and while nothing that is true ever contradicts God's revealed word in the Bible, discovered truth sometimes contradicts the words of Christians. We shouldn't be afraid of this, because God knew it before anybody else and its discovery is dependent on his sovereignty anyway. The truth is that the truth is ours - all truth is our truth because we are of Christ and Christ is of the sovereign God.” PeopleIfsShouldSometimesChristianChristEnemyTruth IsDiscoveryClaimsDependentFreakSovereignSovereignty Author:Matt Chandler

“Our civilization is not Christian. It does not come from the skies. It is not a result of inspiration. It is the child of invention, of discovery, of applied knowledge - that is to say, of science. When man becomes great and grand enough to admit that all have equal rights; when thought is untrammeled; when worship shall consist in doing useful things; when religion means the discharge of obligations to our fellow-men, then, and not until then, will the world be civilized.” MenWorldMeanChildrenDoeEnoughInspirationChristianResultsRightsSkyAtheismCivilizationEqualWorshipDiscoveryFellowsPositive AtheismInventionObligationCivilizedFellow ManEqual RightsDischargeUseful Things Book:The Works of Robert G.

“It is often asserted that woman owes all the advantages of the position she occupies to-day to Christianity, but the facts of history show that the Christian Church has done nothing specifically for woman's elevation. In the general march of civilization, she has necessarily reaped the advantage of man's higher development, but we must not claim for Christianity all that has been achieved by science, discovery and invention.” MenHas BeensDoneFactsShowsChristianChurchChristianityAtheismPositionDevelopmentHigherCivilizationDiscoveryAdvantageClaimsPositive AtheismInventionMarchElevationChristian ChurchDiscovery And Invention Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
