Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “It has always seemed absurd to suppose that a god would choose for his companions, during all eternity, the dear souls whose highest and only ambition is to obey.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “The people were taught that the record was inspired, and therefore true. They were not taught that it was true, and therefore inspired.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “My objection to Christianity is that it is infinitely cruel, infinitely selfish, and, I might add, infinitely absurd.”

Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “They knew no better, but I do not propose to follow the example of a barbarian because he was honestly a barbarian.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “As a man develops, he places a greater value upon his own rights. Liberty becomes a grander and diviner thing. As he values his own rights he begins to value the rights of others. And when all men give to all others all the rights they claim for themselves, this world will be civilized.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Theology is not what we know about God, but what we do not know about Nature.”

Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “If we are immortal it is a fact in nature, and we are not indebted to priests for it, nor to bibles for it, and it cannot be destroyed by unbelief.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “If abuses are destroyed, man must destroy them. If slaves are freed, man must free them. If new truths are discovered, man must discover them. If the naked are clothed; if the hungry are fed; if justice is done; if labor is rewarded; if superstition is driven from the mind; if the defenseless are protected and if the right finally triumphs, all must be the work of man. The grand victories of the future must be won by man, and by man alone.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Nothing is so pleasing to these Gods as the butchery of unbelievers. Nothing so enrages them, even now, as to have some one deny their existence.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Not one of the orthodox ministers dare preach what he thinks if he knows a majority of his congregation think otherwise. He knows that every member of his church stands guard over his brain with a creed, like a club, in his hand. He knows that he is not expected to search after the truth, but that he is employed to defend the creed. Every pulpit is a pillory, in which stands a hired culprit, defending the justice of his own imprisonment.”

Ingersoll Quote: “If what is known as the Christian Religion is true, nothing can be more wonderful than the fact that Matthew, Mark and Luke say nothing about “salvation by faith;” that they do not even hint at the doctrine of the atonement, and are as silent as empty tombs as to the necessity of believing anything to secure happiness in this world or another.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “In this connection we might ask how God can be moral or good unless he believes in some Being superior to himself?”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Any church that imprisons a man because he has used an argument against its creed, will simply convince the world that it cannot answer the argument.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “That church teaches that infinite innocence was sacrificed for me! I do not want it! I do not wish to go to heaven unless I can settle by the books, and go there because I ought to go there. I have said, and I say again, I do not wish to be a charity angel. I have no ambition to become a winged pauper of the skies.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “When the will defies fear, when duty throws the gauntlet down to fate, when honor scorns to compromise with death – that is heroism.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Every man is dishonest who lives upon the labor of others, no matter if he occupies a throne.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “The closer I’m bound in love to you, the closer I am to free.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish – if a little more enlightened, religion would perish.”

Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy a coffin.”

Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “This crime called blasphemy was invented by priests for the purpose of defending doctrines not able to take care of themselves.”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “A false friend, an unjust judge, a braggart, hypocrite, and tyrant, sincere in hatred, jealous, vain and revengeful, false in promise, honest in curse, suspicious, ignorant, infamous and hideous-such is the God of the Pentateuch.”

Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “The book, called the Bible, is filled with passages equally horrible, unjust and atrocious.

This is the book they wish to be recognized in our Constitution as the source of all authority and justice!”
Robert G. Ingersoll Quote: “Nothing is greater than to break the chains from the bodies of men – nothing nobler than to destroy the phantom of the soul.”
