“More than an end to war, we want an end to the beginnings of all wars. Yes, an end to this brutal, inhuman and thoroughly impractical method of settling the differences between Governments. The once powerful malignant Nazi state is crumbling; the Japanese warlords are receiving in their homelands the retribution for which they asked when they attacked Pearl Harbor. But the mere conquest of our enemies is not enough; we must go on to do all in our power to conquer the doubts and the fears, the ignorance and the greed, which made this horror possible.” WantMadeWarEndsStatesEnoughGovernmentPeaceDifferencesPowerfulEnemyDoubtPolicyIgnoranceGoes OnHorrorMethodMereGreedConquerSettlingForeign PolicyReceivingBrutalNaziPearlsConquestHarborsHomelandRetributionInhumanCrumblingWarlords Author:Franklin D.

“For the first time I understood the dogma of eternal pain... For the first time my imagination grasped the height and depth of the Christian horror. Then I said: "It is a lie, and I hate your religion. If it is true, I hate your God." From that day I have had no fear, no doubt. For me, on that day, the flames of hell were quenched. From that day I have passionately hated every orthodox creed. That Sermon did some good.” IfsFirstsSaidChristianPainLyingHateEvilImaginationReligiousHellDoubtHorrorEternalUnderstoodFirst TimeI HateDepthHatedFlamesHeightNo DoubtOrthodoxCreedsDogmaHate YouNo FearSermonsMy ImaginationI Hate You Author:Robert Green Ingersoll
