Intelligent men do not decide any subject until they have carefully examined both or all sides of it. Fools, cowards, and those too lazy to think, accept blindly, without examination, dogmas and doctrines imposed upon them in childhood by their parents, priests, and teachers, when their minds were immature and they could not reason.

[Some] 433,000,000 Mohammedans believe that the Koran was brought by an angel from heaven; 335,000,000 Hindus believe one of their gods, Siva, has six arms; 153,000,000 Buddhists believe they will be reincarnated; 904,000,000 Christians believe a god made the world in six days, Joshua stopped the sun by yelling at it, and Jesus was born of a virgin and nullified natural laws to perform miracles.

There is absolutely no scientific proof of any of these claims. Science has shown them to be contrary to all known facts. It is more intelligent to classify them as false. Religions are all based upon the primitive superstitions of ignorant, stone-age men who had no knowledge of science and thought the world was flat. The Catholic Church imprisoned Galileo for life and burned Bruno at the stake because they disagreed with these superstitious beliefs.

These primitive beliefs have been kept alive by a vast army of priests, preachers, and rabbis because it is to their great profit to promote them, first, by imposing them on the helpless brains of children, and second, by saturating the air, TV, press, and schools with their childish superstitions and unreasonable claims. They fool the ignorant and make the gullible and the intelligent alike pay tribute to them. Their multi-billion-dollar properties and incomes are exempt from taxes; they get half-fare on trains, busses, and planes; and receive billions of dollars in grants of taxpayers' money to help build up their political power, wealth, and luxurious living. Taxes could be cut 10 percent if churches paid their just share. That would mean a probable saving of 20 billion dollars a year to the people of the U.S. every year of their lives. Some priests also indoctrinated with superstition from childhood probably believe what they preach. It pays them handsomely to do so.

Religious beliefs are against common sense. There is no god, just because priests say so. There are no angels, devils, heavens, hells, ghosts, witches, nor miracles. These superstitious beliefs are promoted for the purpose of making the gullible believe that by paying money to the priest-class, they will be favored by one of the gods. There is nothing supernatural -- nothing contrary to natural law.

Religion has caused untold ignorance, murder, torture, fear, poverty, unhappiness, wars, and has kept the world 10,000 years behind the times. It still does, while the millions support the priestly loafers in comfort and ease. For ages the independent thinkers have been murdered, ostracized, tortured, and suppressed and their writings destroyed. Only in recent years have a few courageous thinkers been free to criticize religions.

Great thinkers and scientists -- Voltaire, Thomas Paine, Charles Bradlaugh, Luther Burbank, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Henry L. Mencken, Charles Smith, Joseph Lewis, Rupert Hughes, Bertrand Russell, H.G. Wells, Mark Twain, Herbert Spencer, Thomas Huxley, Clarence Darrow, Chapman Cohen, George McDonald, George Bernard Shaw, and hundreds of others -- have discarded all or most of the religious beliefs.

This leaflet will be shocking to the unfortunate victim brain-whipped by religious indoctrination from childhood. But those who have a spark of intelligence will examine the facts, will stop paying tribute to the religious profiteers, and lose their fear of a mythical god and mythical hell.

If the gods which foolish people pray to were decent beings they would not permit innocent children to die of cancer, be blind, suffer from polio, muscular dystrophy, syphilis. A good god would not have manufactured fleas, bedbugs, chiggers, lice, rattlesnakes, sharks, deadly germs, sickness, diseased brains, idiots, and insanity. All these things are the result of blind, natural evolution. A just god would not cause some innocent people to die or be disabled for life in airplane, train, and ship disasters while others survived.

The Thinkers Club appeals to you to examine both sides so we may all escape from this religious oppression which degenerates the minds, forces all to pay tribute to the priestly parasites, and retards human progress.


Poster Comment:

After assuming I had defeated all of these questions, being divorced 5 years ago has brought them all back.

If it isn't a FRaud, it sure feels like one about now, especially without my sons here tonight. I have never questioned my faith more than at this moment in my life, especially in light of the FRaud we have been sold by the PoliticoWhores..and then we're told to "go along" with it by the preachers.

Wow, so science has unraveled every mystery that man has asked himself since his first thoughts as a living person with self awareness? Wow! So the men in white coats, in a few thousand years, now have an almost complete understanding of an existance whose size and scope is potentionaly limitless?

Is this the same science that cut open "lesser" races to see if they were really humans or just bi-pedal animals and used to measure intelligence by the size of our skulls?

Okay bright boys, answer me this. Where did the matter that makes up our universe come from? You can't make something from nothing. (And for you religious folks reading this, the addition to this question is where did God(s) come from?)

The only thing that frightens me more than a Jesus or Allah or whatever freak saying that the Gods speaks through him is a man who just comes right out and says "I am God."

This leaflet will be shocking to the unfortunate victim brain-whipped by religious indoctrination from childhood.

Yeah, I mean, giving someone hope that maybe out there some where in existance is a God, Godess, or whatever higher power is out there loves us and will some day comfort us when we pass on and maybe, just maybe fix the mess that man and science has made of this world.

I don't have much faither in God, but I have more faith in Him/Her/It because I've already seen and had my fill of man's perpetual and never ending stupidity. Most of the troubles in my life can be laid squarly at the feet of the action of other human beings; not some invisible force in the sky.

No truer words have been spoken. Humanism is destined to failure for exactly the reasons expressed by you here.

In church it's called fellowship, and sometimes it's worse inside church than outside.
