All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
The World is my country, all mankind are my br...ethren, and to do good is my religion.
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.
Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
It is not a God, just and good, but a devil, under the name of God, that the Bible describes. Read the Bible and see the truth of this.
Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.
It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.
He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.
Almost all our presidents did this and we are now hated for it, after fighting a just war in European Nazism.
Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.
Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.
A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.
Thomas Paine- our greatest revolutionary
