Re：Bertrand Russell Date Posted：01/02/2009 12:30 AMCopy HTML "Philosopher Bertrand Russell wrote: "'Religion is based...mainly upon fear...fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand.... My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race.'" thinking is a dangerous thing

Re：Bertrand Russell Date Posted：05/28/2009 2:25 PMCopy HTML All religions and all --isms are forms of slavery, the individual succumbs.
Just finished Susan Jacoby's, Freethinkers. A History of American Secularism. Supporting separation of church and state, the First Amendment is anti-religion. We're in trouble. Tom Paine's The Age of Reason considered essential reading today, cost Paine the glory that was his with Common Sense as solidifying the people to support the Revolution. Jefferson invited him back to the country, but was much criticized for it. What goes around, comes around.
