“The office of reformer of the superstitions of a nation, is ever more dangerous. Jesus had to work on the perilous confines of reason and religion; and a step to the right or left might place him within the grasp of the priests of the superstition, a bloodthirsty race, as cruel and remorseless as the being whom they represented as the family God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, and the local God of Israel. That Jesus did not mean to impose himself on mankind as the son of God, physically speaking, I have been convinced by the writings of men more learned than myself in that lore.” MenWritingMeanHas BeensReasonMightJesusLeftNationsRaceStepsMankindDangerousSonOfficeIsraelConvincedLocalsPriestsSuperstitionsFoundingChurch And StateAbrahamSeparation Of Church And StateOur Founding FathersFounding Fathers ChristianJacobUs Founding FathersReformersFounding Fathers ReligionFounding Fathers ReligiousReligion GodIsaacFounding Fathers Anti ReligionChristianity From Founding FathersChristian FatherRemorseless Author:Thomas Jefferson
“We must learn to cast off our anxieties because we have so many of them. The world destroys spiritual life by generating constant anxiety.

“Think of the majesty of that moment in this dying world's history, when Jesus Christ declared that to the Christian death was only a sleep. Outside of that small dwelling in Capernaum, a great race of men rushed and toiled as they harassed continents and seas; mighty events marshaled themselves into annals and pageants. What was inside? In one inconspicuous chamber of a now forgotten house, man's Redeemer, unobserved, martyred man's final enemy. There Immanuel subdued death forever.” ThinkingMenWorldMomentsChristianHouseJesusChristSleepRaceEnemyForeverSeaDyingEventsJesus ChristFinalsForgottenThat MomentContinentsChamberMajestyDwellingRedeemerPageantMartyredGreat Race Author:Charles Seymour Robinson
“Have not all theists painted their Deity as the god of love and goodness? Yet after thousands of years of such preachments the gods remain deaf to the agony of the human race. Confucius cares not for the poverty, squalor and misery of the people of China. Buddha remains undisturbed in his philosophical indifference to the famine and starvation of outraged Hindoos; Jahve continues deaf to the bitter cry of Israel; while Jesus refuses to rise from the dead against his Christians who are butchering each other.” PeopleYearsHumansCareChristianJesusRacePovertyAtheismCryGoodnessPhilosophicalRemainsMiseryRefuseIsraelChinaPositive AtheismBitterIndifferenceHuman RaceAgonyDeafDeitiesStarvationFamineOutragedTheistSqualor Book:Mother Earth, a Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Social Science and Literature Source: Mother Earth, a Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Social Science and Literature
