Thomas Paine Quotes

Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.

Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.

Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.

Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.

That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not.

There are matters in the Bible, said to be done by the express commandment of God, that are shocking to humanity and to every idea we have of moral justice.
