Why is there so much disturbance, so much fighting and quarrelling in the name of godIJ There has been more bloodshed in the name of god than for any other cause, because people never went to the fountainhead; they were content only to give a mental assent to the customs of their forefathers, and wanted others to do the same. If there is a god, we must see him, if there is a soul we must perceive it; otherwise it is better not to believe. It is better to be an outspoken atheist than a hypocrite.
