Even If Their Outward Fortunes Could Be

My Own Feeling Of Concern Arises From Seeing How Much Moral Injury And Suffering Is Created By The Superstitions Of The Christian Mythology.

I Hope And Believe My Co-religionists Understand And Admit That I Disclaim Their Theology In Toto, And That By No Twisting Of Language Or Darkening Of Its Meanings Can I Be Made To Have Any Thing Whatever In Common With Them About Religious Matters... They Must Take My Word For It That There Is Nothing In Common Between Their Theology And My Philosophy.

But Is It Not The Fact That Religion Emanates From The Nature, From The Moral State Of The Individual? Is It Not Therefore True That Unless The Nature Be Completely Exercised, The Moral State Harmonized, The Religion Cannot Be Healthy?

If The National Mind Of America Be Judged Of By Its Legislation, It Is Of A Very High Order ... If The American Nation Be Judged Of By Its Literature, It May Be Pronounced To Have No Mind At All.

Keep Innocency, And Take Heed Unto The Thing That Is Right, For That Shall Bring A Man Peace At The Last.
