“A inspiração da Bíblia depende da ignorância da pessoa que a lê.”
Robert Green Ingersoll 38
1833–1899Citações relacionadas

All that is necessary, as it seems to me, to convince any reasonable person that the Bible is simply and purely of human invention -- of barbarian invention -- is to read it. Read it as you would any other book; think of it as you would of any other; get the bandage of reverence from your eyes; drive from your heart the phantom of fear; push from the throne of your brain the coiled form of superstition -- then read the Holy Bible, and you will be amazed that you ever, for one moment, supposed a being of infinite wisdom, goodness and purity, to be the author of such ignorance and of such atrocity.

Variante: A maioria das pessoas se preocupam com passagens da Bíblia que não entendem, mas as passagens que me preocupam são as que eu entendo.
