Hate, Religion, Church
Robert Green Ingersoll (1907). “The works of Robert G. Ingersoll”, p.100, Library of Alexandria

If a man really believes that God once upheld slavery; that he commanded soldiers to kill women and babes; that he believed in polygamy; that he persecuted for opinion's sake; that he will punish forever, and that he hates an unbeliever, the effect in my judgment will be bad. It always has been bad. This belief built the dungeons of the Inquisition. This belief made the Puritan murder the Quaker.

I feel that I am neither a favorite nor a victim. Nature neither loves nor hates me.

I hate above all things a cross man. What right has he to murder the sunshine of a day? What right has he to assassinate the Joy of life? When you go home, you ought to go like a ray of light-so that it will, even in the night, burst out of the doors and windows and illuminate the darkness.

Hate, Home, Sunshine
Robert Green Ingersoll (1907). “The works of Robert G. Ingersoll”, p.206, Library of Alexandria

I honestly believe that the doctrine of hell was born in the glittering eyes of snakes that run in frightful coils watching for their prey. I believe it was born with the yelping, howling, growling and snarling of wild beasts... I despise it, I defy it, and I hate it.
