Synopsis

Amid the 21st century's escalating religious tensions, Robert Green Ingersoll's views on the substance of religion and gods offer a firm foundation of logic and independent thought leading to a life examined and a life of happiness free of the shackles of religion. Whether the present-day enslavement of the human spirit is called Intelligent Design, Evangelical Christianity, Islam, Catholicism, or any other mythologic label, Ingersoll's fact-based philosophy remains intact: Reason, Observation Experience and Nature teach us that happiness is the only good; that the time to be happy is now; and the way to be happy is to make others so. If you doubt the existence of God and gods; if you question the purpose of organized religions; if you have difficulty with the terror and cruelty of the Bible and the teachings of the church, this is the author and the book to read to find alternative answers and a happier life without guilt.

About this title

About the Author:

Robert Greene Ingersoll is considered among the greatest of all writers on the question of the existence of gods and God. Edited by Ian Tarquin Hume, a scholar of Ingersoll's writings from Inverness, Scotland, the book converts Ingersoll's greatest speeches into a linked essay format that is powerful, exciting and breathtaking for its reasoned freshness and intellectual common sense. Hume achieves a structure that showcases Ingersoll's victory of Reason over the pseudo-supernatural mythology of all religions.
