Is it not a species of blasphemy to call the New Testament revealed religion when we see in it such contradictions and absurdities.
Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.
A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities will keep him from the commission of all sins or nearly all save those worth committing.
The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.
When we have done our best we can as a united people take whatever may befall with calm courage and confidence that this old nation will survive and if death should come to many of us death is not the end.
