“Everywhere and always, since its very inception, Christianity has turned the earth into a vale of tears; always it has made of life a weak, diseased thing, always it has instilled fear in man, turning him into a dual being, whose life energies are spent in the struggle between body and soul. In decrying the body as something evil, the flesh as the tempter to everything that is sinful, man has mutilated his being in the vain attempt to keep his soul pure, while his body rotted away from the injuries and tortures inflicted upon it.” MenMadeSoulBodyEarthEvilEnergyChristianityStruggleTearsPureWeakFleshVainTortureInjuryDiseasedInception Author:Emma Goldman
“The cruelty of a Fijian god, who, represented as devouring the souls of the dead, may be supposed to inflict torture during the process, is small compared with the cruelty of a God who condemns men to tortures which are eternal.” MenMaySoulProcessAtheismEternalPositive AtheismCrueltyTortureDevouring Book:The Principles of Sociology Source: The Principles of Sociology
