“Your national greatness, swelling vanity; your denunciation of tyrants, brass-fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy-a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.” AmericaNationsReligiousPrayerLibertyCrimeGreatnessMereVanityDeceptionHypocrisyFraudTyrantsSavagesVeilsSermonsHollowOur PrayersDisgraceMockeryParadesHymnsAbolitionCover UpsBrassSwellingSolemnityLiberty And EqualityImpudence Author:Frederick Douglass
“I am not religious, but I am a pious man... A religious man has a definite religion. He says "God is there" or "God is there," "God is there." "Your god is not my god, and that's all." But the pious man, he just looks out with awe, and says, "where is God?" And "well, I don't understand it and I would like to know what this creation really means." That is a pious man, who is really touched by the greatness of nature and of the creation.” KnowsMenWellsLooksMeanReligiousCreationGreatnessAweTouchedDefiniteReally MeanPiousGod Is There Author:Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
