{"quotes":[{"text":"It is because of the Biblical curse on man's search for knowledge, which has so paralyzed his mind during the past ages, and its detrimental effect upon progress, that makes the Bible the most wicked, the most detestable, the most pernicious, and the most obnoxious book ever published. It has been a curse to the human race.It is the duty of every brave and honest man and woman to do everything in his and her power to destroy the influence of this utterly stupid and vicious book, with its infantile concept of life and its nonsense concerning the universe. It is their duty to do everything within their power to stop its demoralizing and paralyzing influence upon the life of man.We will never achieve intellectual liberty until the wickedness of this book has been discarded with the belief in the flatness of the earth.","author":"Joseph Lewis","tags":["bravery","curse","demoralize","destroy","detestable","duty","honesty","humanity","influence","intellectual-liberty","knowledge","obnoxious","paralyze","pernicious","power","progress","stupid","vicious"],"id":2321,"author_id":"Joseph+Lewis"},{"text":"This doctrine of forgiveness of sin is a premium on crime. 'Forgive us our sins' means 'Let us continue in our iniquity.' It is one of the most pernicious of doctrines, and one of the most fruitful sources of immorality. It has been the chief cause of making Christian nations the most immoral of nations. In teaching this doctrine Christ committed a sin for which his death did not atone, and which can never be forgiven. There is no forgiveness of sin. Every cause has its effect; every sinner must suffer the consequences of his sins.","author":"John E.
