At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers. Soon you may set Catholic against Protestant and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the minds of men. If you can do one you can do the other. Ignorance and fanaticism is ever busy and needs feeding. Always it is feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers, tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lectures, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After while, your honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth century when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind.","author":"Clarence Darrow","tags":["bigots","catholic","creed","culture","enlightenment","evolution","hostility","illegal","intelligence","protestant","religious-bigotry","science","science-vs-religion","scopes-trial","violence","war"],"id":123279,"author_id":"Clarence+Darrow"},{"text":"Most races have a finish line, but some racists are running races where since they never hit the finish line, they never finish lying.","author":"Justin K.
