Our [religion, Christianity] is assuredly the most ridiculous, the most absurd and the most bloody religion which has ever infected this world.
Your Majesty will do the human race an eternal service by extirpating this infamous superstition, I do not say among the rabble, who are not worthy of being enlightened and who are apt for every yoke; I say among honest people, among men who think, among those who wish to think.
… My one regret in dying is that I cannot aid you in this noble enterprise, the finest and most respectable which the human mind can point out..
About Me
- PERMAN WILSON
- MY BELIEF IN GOD IS NATURALISTIC: Unlike most people who use the name, God, I have a rational definition for the concept: I define 'god' to mean 'ruler'. When I write the name 'God' with a capital "G," I am referring to each one of the elements in my trinity working together in harmony. Thus, for me: (1) Nature is god of the Universe. (2) Humanity is god of the planet Earth. (3) My own mind is god of my own body. I SERVE NATURE BEST BY KNOWING AND OBEYING THE LAWS OF NATURE AS MUCH AS I CAN DETERMINE WITH SCIENCE AND MY SCIENTIFIC THINKING. I SERVE HUMANITY BE BEING HUMANE. I SERVE MY OWN MIND BY CONTINUOUSLY LEARNING AS MUCH AS I REASONABLY CAN, AND THINKING OPTIMISTICALLY, HEALTHFULLY, AND WHOLESOMELY WHILE ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT.
