“God -- if he really exist -- is good, alive, self-conscious, and governs all things according to his benevolent and holy providence; but the world shows no indications of such a benevolent and holy Providence. This earth appears to be a hell, or at best a planet condemned -- a sort of purgatory: it is filled with violence, tyranny and injustice, and yet God, if he exist, is absolute sovereign, and has willed that things should be as they are! -- Therefore there is no God.” IfsWorldShouldSelfGodShowsEarthHellAliveViolencePlanetsHolyConsciousAll ThingsAbsolutesFilledInjusticeTyrannyProvidenceSovereignSelf ConsciousIndicationThere Is No GodBenevolentPurgatory Author:William Batchelder Greene
“Solitary confinement has been used extensively, it always has. I was in prison for 44 years; it was a normal part of life - the practice of it. They put you in solitary confinement for disciplinary reasons, they put you in solitary confinement to protect you from violence or whatever, and they also put you in solitary confinement just to show you who has got the power ... It's not something new; it's just something that nobody really cared about in the past.” YearsHas BeensReasonShowsPastUsedPracticeViolenceProtectNormalPrisonSomething NewSolitaryParts Of LifeProtect YouConfinementSolitary Confinement Author:Wilbert Rideau
