“See, then, how powerful religion is; it commands the heart, it commands the vitals. Morality,--that comes with a pruning-knife, and cuts off all sproutings, all wild luxuriances; but religion lays the axe to the root of the tree. Morality looks that the skin of the apple be fair; but religion searcheth to the very core.” LooksHeartReligionPowerfulCuttingTreeMoralityFairsRootsSkinsLaysCoreCommandApplesKnivesPruning Author:Nathaniel Culverwell

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stonewritten. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.” NeedsBelieveWellsWarStatesBigsReligionChurchMy OwnAnswersAcceptingLaughingOur LivesWrittenAtheismTeachingConditionsDrinkDiscoveryStonesAtheistEducationalCommandBeerBelieve In GodFormulasOddsEducational SystemBig QuestionsUnlearnDaily Atheist Author:Charles Bukowski
