masque12Some new quotes I found, yanked from Usenet, I believe:
Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.
-- Thomas Paine
During almost 15 centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
-- James Madison
It just goes to show, for really good, old, anti-Christian quotes, you can't beat Eighteenth-century Illuminati members. It wasn't called the Enlightenment for nothing.
