Most People’s Religion Is What

I See Humanity Now As One Vast Plant, Needing For Its Highest Fulfillment Only Love, The Natural Blessings Of The Great Outdoors, And Intelligent Crossing And Selection.

The Time Has Come For Honest Men To Denounce False Teachers And Attack False Gods.

As A Scientist, I Cannot Help Feeling That All Religions Are On A Tottering Foundation . . . I Am An Infidel Today. I Do Not Believe What Had Been Served To Me To Believe. I Am A Doubter, A Questioner, A Skeptic. When It Can Be Proved To Me That There Is Immortality, That There Is Resurrection Beyond The Gates Of Death, Then Will I Believe. Until Then, No.

The Idea That A Good God Would Send People To A Burning Hell Is Utterly Damnable To Me. I Don't Want To Have Anything To Do With Such A God. But While I Cannot Conceive Of Such A God, I Do Recognize The Existence Of A Great Universal Power - A Power Which We Cannot Even Begin To Comprehend And Might As Well Not Attempt To. It May Be A Conscious Mind, Or It May Not. I Don't Know. As A Scientist I Should Like To Know, But As A Man, I Am Not So Vitally Concerned.

The Serenity Produced By The Contemplation And Philosophy Of Nature Is The Only Remedy For Prejudice, Superstition, And Inordinate Self-importance, Teaching Us That We Are All A Part Of Nature Herself, Strengthening The Bond Of Sympathy Which Should Exist Between Ourselves And Our Brother Man. . .
