More From Thomas Paine

I will never forget that the only reason i'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. stood up when it was hard. stood up when it wasn't popular. and because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. and then a few thousand stood up. and then a few million stood up. and standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.
Courage Purpose World
If the lost word is lost, if the spent word is spent if the unheard, unspoken word is unspoken, unheard; still is the spoken word, the word unheard, the word without a word, the word within the world and for the world; and the light shone in the darkness and against the word the unstilled world still whirled about the center of the silent word. oh my people, what have i done unto thee. where shall the word be found, where shall the word resound? not here, there is not enough silence

It is often said in the bible that god spake unto moses, but how do you know that god spake unto moses? because, you will say, the bible says so. the koran says, that god spake unto mahomet, do you believe that too? no. why not? because, you will say, you do not believe it; and so because you do, and because you don't is all the reason you can give for believing or disbelieving except that you will say that mahomet was an impostor. and how do you know moses was not an impostor?

We invented marriage. couples invented marriage. we also invented divorce,mind you. and we invented infidelity,too, as well as romantic misery. in fact we invented the whole sloppy mess of love and intimacy and aversion and euphoria and failure. but most importantly of all, most subversively of all, most stubbornly of all, we invented privacy.

Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. but it is only in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is god, not through any belief; because your belief projects what you think god ought to be, what you think ought to be true. if you believe god is love, god is good, god is this or that, your very belief prevents you from understanding what is god, what is true.
Powerful Believe Thinking
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

Bible Christian Writing
We ought therefore to suspect that a great mass of information respecting the bible, and the introduction of it into the world, has been suppressed by the united tyranny of church and state, for the purpose of keeping people in ignorance, and which ought to be known.
