Robert G. Ingersoll wrote --- "If abuses are destroyed, man must destroy them. If slaves are freed, man must free them. If new truths are discovered, man must discover them. If the naked are clothed; if the hungry are fed; if justice is done; if labor is rewarded; if superstition is driven from the mind; if the defenseless are protected and if the right finally triumphs, all must be the work of man. The grand victories of the future must be won by man, and by man alone."

Arminius wrote --- "Jesus' blood sacrifice and substitutionary atonement are Pauline doctrines. They are part of Pauline Christianity; they have little or nothing to do with Jesus' teachings. The Christianity that emerged out of Paul's teachings was so different from Jesus' original teachings that it could well be regarded as a different religion. The original Jesus movement was a Judaic movement. Paul went to great length to distance himself from Judaism and the Jesus movement. He made little or no attempt to become personally acquainted with the Jesus community of Jerusalem. Paul's mythical Christ, as well as the doctrines surrounding it, are a Pauline invention."

Know also that the soul is endowed with two wings: should it soar in the atmosphere of love and contentment, then it will be related to the All-Merciful, and should it fly in the atmosphere of self and desire, then it will pertain to the Evil One; may God shield and protect us and protect you therefrom, O ye who perceive! Should the soul become ignited with the fire of the love of God, it is called benevolent and pleasing unto God, but should it be consumed with the fire of passion, it is known as the concupiscent soul. Thus have We expounded this subject for thee that thou mayest obtain a clear understanding.
