dirtcentral.com is dedicated to the proposition that
politics and religion do absolutely nothing to improve our
lives or answer any questions about our place in the universe, but are
endless sources of humor and amusement, because if we don't laugh at
them they really
might make us miserable.
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
Voltaire
In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
During
almost fifteen centuries the legal establishment of Christianity has
been upon trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places,
pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the
laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
James Madison
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
Thomas Jefferson
The
day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme
Being as his Father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classified with
the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we
may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United
States will do away with this artificial scaffolding and restore to us
the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated Reformer of
human errors.
Thomas Jefferson
Let us, then, fellow citizens, unite
with one heart and one mind. Let us restore to social intercourse that
harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are
but dreary things. And let us reflect that having banished from our
land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long bled, we
have yet gained little if we contenance a political intolerance as
despotic, as wicked, and capable of a bitter and bloody persecution.
Thomas Jefferson
In this, the milieu of American
aberration, where scoundrels of misguided conviction nurture acrimony,
tax trust with pernicious falsehood and squander young lives in wars of
dubious merit, let us mourn the God from whom they claim righteousness,
for they vacate the comfort He can provide the wretched masses and cast
Him as they are, unholy custodians of an unjust world.
