“We're going to have plenty of work to do, but it's going to be a lot easier than here. There'll be no sorrow, no sickness, no pain, no weariness, no death, no more tears, no more crying. That's certainly going to make things easier. We're going to have rest in Heaven compared to what we've had in this life, but we're also going to have something to do. We'd eventually be unhappy if we didn't!” IfsPainHeavenCryTearsEasierSorrowUnhappyPlentyThis LifeSicknessHeavenlyWearinessNo Pain Author:David Berg
“Do you doubt that the least effects of nature were not used as marks of the wrath of heaven? It was to the interest of pontiffs, priests, and augurs, as much as it is to the interest of lawyers and doctors that there should be lawsuits and sickness. No wonder they took care that the people should not grow slack in their religion.” PeopleShouldCareUsedHeavenGrowsInterestWonderDoubtAtheismEffectsDoctorsMarkPositive AtheismLawyerSicknessPriestsWrathLawsuit Author:Pierre Bayle
“However constant the visitations of sickness and bereavement, the fall of the year is most thickly strewn with the fall of human life. Everywhere the spirit of some sad power seems to direct the time; it hides from us the blue heavens, it makes the green wave turbid; it walks through the fields, and lays the damp ungathered harvest low; it cries out in the night wind and the shrill hail; it steals the summer bloom from the infant cheek; it makes old age shiver to the heart; it goes to the churchyard, and chooses many a grave.” YearsHumansHeartSeemsAgeSpiritNightFallHeavenWalksCryFieldsWindSummerLowsDirectBlueGreenLaysConstantWaveGravesStealingOld AgeHuman LifeSicknessAutumnCheeksHarvestInfantBereavementHailShiverDampVisitation Book:Endeavors After the Christian Life: Discourses Source: Endeavors After the Christian Life: Discourses
“If those millions squandered on designing missionaries had been deposited in funds for the support of yourselves, when old age, misfortune, or sickness (from which none are exempt,) overtakes you, or for the distressed of your race, what a heaven of happiness you would have created on earth: ye would now be an ornament to your sex, and ages to come would call you blessed. But it is in vain to try - a priest-ridden female is lost to reason. Why? because she has surrendered her reason to the ... missionaries ... the orthodox; they are the grand deceivers.” IfsTryingReasonAgeEarthLostHeavenSexRaceMillionsSupportAtheismDesignFemaleBlessedPositive AtheismOld AgeVainReason WhySicknessFundPriestsOrthodoxMisfortunesOrnamentsDeceiver Author:Anne Royall
