Of Course It Must, And

Do Not Feed Children On Maudlin Sentimentalism Or Dogmatic Religion; Give Them Nature

As A Scientist, I Can Not Help Feeling That All Religions Are On A Tottering Foundation. None Is Perfect Or Inspired.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.

The Clear Light Of Science Teaches Us That We Must Be Our Own Saviors, If We Are To Be Found Worth Saving.

Do Not Feed Children On A Maudlin Sentimentalism Or Dogmatic Religion; Give Them Nature. Let Their Souls Drink In All That Is Pure And Sweet. Rear Them, If Possible, Amid Pleasant Surroundings ... Let Nature Teach Them The Lessons Of Good And Proper Living, Combined With An Abundance Of Well-balanced Nourishment. Those Children Will Grow To Be The Best Men And Women. Put The Best In Them By Contact With The Best Outside. They Will Absorb It As A Plant Absorbs The Sunshine And The Dew.

Let Us Read The Bible Without The Ill-fitting Colored Spectacles Of Theology, Just As We Read Other Books, Using Our Judgment And Reason. . . .
