Atheists are wrong. There is a God. Ingersoll is the God of quotation. He is so good that I decided to put this 3rd list of his superb quotations. Yes this is my third list, here are the first and the second:
As
long as every question is answered by the word "God,"
scientific inquiry is simply impossible.
--
"The Gods" (1872)
"Heresy
is a cradle; orthodoxy a coffin."
--
"Heretics and Herecies" (1874)
I
do not believe there is any being in this universe who gives rain for
praise, who gives sunshine for prayer, or who blesses a man simply
because he kneels.
--
"Some Reasons Why" (1881)
In
all ages hypocrites, called priests, have put crowns on the heads of
thieves, called kings.
--Robert
Green Ingersoll (1884), quoted from Herman E Kittredge, A
Biographical Appreciation of Robert Green Ingersoll, Chapter XII
The
clergy know that I know that they know that they do not know.
--Robert
Green Ingersoll, "Orthodoxy" (1884)
It
seems to me impossible for a civilized man to love or worship, or
respect the God of the Old Testament. A really civilized man, a
really civilized woman, must hold such a God in abhorrence and
contempt.
--
"Why I am an Agnostic" (1896)
It
is told that the great Angelo, in decorating a church, painted some
angels wearing sandals. A cardinal looking at the picture said to the
artist: "Whoever saw angels with sandals?" Angelo answered
with another question: "Whoever saw an angel barefooted?"
--
"Superstition" (1898)
