[Gutenberg 59651] • The Creation of God

Excerpt from The Creation of God

Is it not high time for man and woman to learn that their dependence on any supernatural aid is futile, their prayers and appeals to an imaginary God worse than useless, their cringing fear for the so-called sacred authority cowardly, their submission to priestly rule and authority slavish, and the incul cating of biblical church lore stupefying? Is it not time for man and woman to comprehend themselves, their powers, the uses of their several organs, their functions, and the natural laws that govern them? That ideas, thought, consciousness, intellect under standing, imagination, knowledge, etc., etc are but the functions of nervous matter? That everything we know, have discovered, developed, or produced, is the natural product of nerve tissue.
