Freethought Quotes

  • “Always tell the truth. Then you don't have to remember anything.”
    by Mark Twain
    Roughin' it
  • “How so many absurd rules of conduct, as well as so many absurd religious beliefs, have originated, we do not know; nor how it is that they have become, in all quarters of the world, so deeply impressed on the minds of men; but it is worthy of remark that a belief constantly inculcated during the early years of life, while the brain is impressionable, appears to acquire almost the nature of an instinct; and the very essence of an instinct is that it is followed independently of reason.”
    by Charles Darwin
    The Descent of Man
  • “As a black woman, I often wonder why brown and black people are so devoted to  Christianity when the Bible was used to enslave their ancestors. As an African, I am well aware  that Christianity did not exist in Africa until white people showed up on the continent with  Bibles. Our ancestors survived hundreds of years without modern religion.”
