When Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in 1916, the motto of her journal was

“No Gods, No Masters”

Was God a baker?

Our duty: doing something here and now…

Heaven has been thought out and constructed upon an absolute definite plan… it shall contain, in labored detail, each and every imaginable thing that is repulsive to a man, and not a single thing he likes!

-Mark Twain, Letters From the Earth

Do not be frightened.

'Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you!'‘

George Carlin
