  1. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    When we take into consideration the fact that a belief in the Trinity is absolutely essential to salvation, how unfortunate it was for the world that this doctrine was not established until the year 1274. Think of the millions that dropped into hell while these questions were being discussed.

  2. A quotation from Robert Green Ingersoll

       Is it necessary that Heaven should borrow its light from the glare of Hell?
       Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.

  3. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    The instant we admit that a book is too sacred to be doubted, or even reasoned about, we are mental serfs. It is infinitely absurd to suppose that a god would address a communication to intelligent beings, and yet make it a crime, to be punished in eternal flames, for them to use their intelligence for the purpose of understanding his communication. If we have the right to use our reason, we certainly have the right to act in accordance with it, and no god can have the right to punish us for such action.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
    Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, Illinois
