“The church in all ages and among all peoples has been the consistent enemy of the human race. Everywhere and at all times, it has opposed the liberty of thought and expression. It has been the sworn enemy of investigation and intellectual development. It has denied the existence of facts, the tendency of which was to undermine its power. It has always been carrying fagots to the feet of Philosophy. It has erected the gallows for Genius. It has built the dungeon for Thinkers.” HumansHas BeensPhilosophyFactsAgeEvilChurchReligiousRaceExistenceLibertyEnemyFeetExpressionDevelopmentGeniusIntellectualBuiltTendenciesAll TimeHuman RaceConsistentThinkerDeniedInvestigationDungeonsGallowsIntellectual DevelopmentFagots Book:The Works of Robert G.
