The Female Of Genus Homo

I'm Sure I Never Used To Be So Sensitive. I Think It Is Due To This Nervous Condition.

But Reason Has No Power Against Feeling, And Feeling Older Than History Is No Light Matter.

It Cannot Be Too Strongly Asserted That The Insistence On Blind, Unreasoning Faith Is Due Mainly To The Maintenance Of A Subject-matter Upon Which There Was No Knowledge, Namely The 'other World'; And That This Basis Was Assumed Because Of Early Man's Preoccupation With Death. It Is, Unfortunately, Quite Possible To Believe A Thing Which Is Contradicted By Facts, Especially If The Facts Are Not Generally Known; But If The Whole Position On Which We Rested Our Religions Had Been Visibly Opposed By What We Did Know, Even The Unthinking Masses Would, In Time, Have Noticed It.

One Religion After Another Has Accepted And Perpetuated Man's Original Mistake In Making A Private Servant Of The Mother Of The Race.

But I Must Say What I Feel And Think In Some Way — It Is Such A Relief! But The Effort Is Getting To Be Greater Than The Relief.
