I am now convinced that children should not be subjected to the frightfulness of the Christian religion [...]. If the concept of a father who plots to have his own son put to death is presented to children as beautiful and as worthy of society's admiration, what types of human behavior can be presented to them as reprehensible?
There was a time when religion ruled the world. It is known as the Dark Ages.
I feel that we should stop wasting our time trying to please the supernatural and concentrate on improving the welfare of human beings. I think that, uh, we should use our energy and our initiative to solve our problems, and stop relying on prayer and wishful thinking. If we have faith in ourselves, we won't have to have faith in gods.
The natural is so awesome that we need not go beyond it.
Not only is this not love; I think it is the most diabolical unfairness that was ever taught or devised.
Personally, I think the 'Christian family' should be called a Christian fantasy.
