Freethought Quotes

  • “Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ”
    by H. L. Mencken
  • “Does the Lord really work in mysterious ways, or does he just not work at all?”
    by Anonymous
  • “If our actions in the world are to stem from an encounter with what is central in life, they must be unclouded by either dogma or prevarication. Agnosticism is no excuse for indecision. If anything, it is a catalyst for action; for in shifting concern away from a future life and back to the present, it demands an ethics of empathy rather than a metaphysics of fear and hope.”
