“If Christianity is a mere invention of man, and the Bible is not from God, how can infidels explain Jesus Christ? His existence in history they cannot deny. How is it that without force or bribery, without arms or money, He has made such an immensely deep mark on the world as He certainly has?” IfsMenWorldMadeJesusForceChristExistenceChristianityArmsJesus ChristMarkMereDenyInventionInfidelBribery Author:J.

“There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing, and predatory. The invention of hell measured by our Christianity of today, bad as it is, hypocritical as it is, empty and hollow as it is, neither the deity nor his son is a Christian, nor qualified for that moderately high place. Ours is a terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilled.” WorldTodayChristianChristianityHellBloodSonTerribleComfortEmptyInventionInnocentSwimBloodyDeitiesQualifiedHollowNotableHypocriticalGrabbingHigh PlacesPredatory Author:Mark Twain
“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
“There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing and predatory as it is - in our country particularly, and in all other Christian countries in a somewhat modified degree - it is still a hundred times better than the Christianity of the Bible, with its prodigious crime- the invention of Hell.” StillsCountryChristianChristianityHellCrimeDegreesHundredInventionOur CountryBloodyNotableGrabbingProdigiousPredatory Book:Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2: The Complete and Authoritative Edition Source: Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2: The Complete and Authoritative Edition
