^NOTE ! I believe I have chosen, and compiled more great truthes, in this book, than 2m§ been uoue in &ny Bible, That I was shaped, and Influenced to do so by God, as much so, as any. That the works chosen, are as much Inspired as any of the books chosen for other Bibles $ and that I am as much Inspired, and I have as good a right to choose these books and compile them into a Bible for the Amercan JV- man, as had that Jew, or that Homan, or that fengllshcm that Mohammedan, or that Mormon; or, that host of othe> That was the way they got their Bibles, and that is zl) tfcgre is in it.
j)[j) NOT write this book. Tt is the writ* T ings, and beliefs of many, many great, wise, T and good men and women ; from all parts H 0 f the world. It is a defence of Liberal, Free or Individual government 5 that is for giving man a chance to read, study, investigate, and to enjoy the different ideas and opinions of their fellow men or their own. If it is wrong, then freedom is wrong, and I have a grate deal of good company.
How does the lives and characters of Paine, Jeff- erson, Franklin, Washington, Lincoln, Sherman, Grant, and a host of our Infidel fathers compare to those of Abraham, Lot, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Solo- mon, and that set of enslaving, murdering, being, thieving, whoreing, devastateiog, set of god-sent.
Jews and Christians? f
I am not alone in this wide, wide world, and my bible is just and rational! Not so with the Jew Christian, King Jim’s bible ! It runs counter to the nature, of man and things; it is wretchedly self-contradictory, both in history, facts, and cir- cumstantial evidence !
What I have said about religionists and their bi- bles is nothing compared to what they first said a- bout my liberty and infidelity! They that live in glass houses ought not to throw rocks ! Or he that is without sin let him throw the first rock ! It is a mighty ill wind that blows no one any good ! I be- lieve, however, that this Jew-Christian-King-Jim- bible is that kind of an ill wind ! It has always in- jured it,s friends worse than its foes ! I believe it is too foul, vicious, obscene, and dangerous for man to generaly keep for our youth to read !
And, if you will investigate this subject as it is presented to you from page 108 to 122, of book Our Beginning less, you will find that this is enough
Religion is an awful mental disease ! And its mortality has been greater than all other diseases put together! And this is why I have dwelt so much on this subject.
This book is entended as a private medical and legal guide'. It contains many choice subjects that can be read on all readable occasions 5 as at births, weddings, funerals, or at the sick bed.
We hold that religion is an acquired disease, a cra- ziness ! I have endeavorod to prove it from their own frui's! For by their crab-apple fruits we know them ! And I have endeavored to point out a remedy ; not only for it, but, for our ever ill.
It is entended as a chart and prescription, and it should be kept as private property— private and se- cure, under lock and key ! The destroying hand of religionists will ever be after it and ) ou !•
I object to the old Jew bible, because it was only a garbled extract from the old snake, fish, ghost, and legendary fables of the ancients. I reject the Christian, s bible, because it rests on the same old mythical foundation. They reject all of the old ex- cept its*foundation ; therefore, this gives me the right to reject it and their ghostly foundation! And to declare in favor of Hylotheism, or that there is no god except universal matter ! And that
he is universal goodness and intelligence !
Each plant is an individual, filled with deity! They are male and female, they love and hate, suffer and enjoy, they display an intelligence, they work and they rest, they live and they die. Plants and trees are but stationary animals, for in the great chain of life it is impossible to tell where the
plant life ends and the animal life begins !
So from plant life we come, and bstck to it our body does go, while our intelligence back to deity
doth flow!
Religion is a sign of weakness, caused from the predominance of our infernal infirmaties. It being an unbalanced or diseased 'condition it is not re- liable nor trustworthy, and leads to craziness. We should never cry, grieve, fret, nor unnecessari- ly complain. This, too,Ts an expression of our un- balanced, or weakened condition. Religion has never improved, nor elevated mau. We only have to refer yon to the road traveled by it from the first religious altar— Cain’s and Ablb’s, on down to the Sabatarian and Prohibitionists of today.
Religionists descend the scale. They never climb. They descend from a lord of all they sur- vey, to a church-ridden subject, and from asubjeA to a priest-ridden slave, and from a slave to a hi^st of burden. From an Eden to a hell. It is a fact, although the Adamites claim to be; God-first aud God-chosen, and God-perfect, yet they have but little in prose, song, law or gospel hut what they gleaned fromlothers. AikL being last, .from the hind tit, they are runts, and imbibe our vices more than our virtues. They claim to be God^perfect, •and cannot discover, or learn any more.
According to their own history, after God bad made everything, then he made male and female man, in his own image and placed them in the world, (not a garden nor an Eden), but the world, and commanded them to be fruitful and multiply, and replenish and subdue the earth. And that u was good. Now, this was on Saturday, or the 6th day. Of course, God is a white man, and that was when the white man was made*. Now, the next chapter tells us that the Lord God, not God, early Sunday, made this colored mau, Adam,-' from the dust, rubbish, and nubbin end of creation, and put him in a garden, to keep it. In proof of the above assertion that Adam was made from the dust, dirt,
and colored rubbish, left from a hard week's work, * there was nothing to make Eve, so he had to take a piece of Adam. And then he was so tired he had to rest! Leaving them half made, naked, igno- rant, and at the mercy of an awful Devil! And this awful curse remains on all Adamites, or Christians
to this day.
Can you not see, they are different men, made by 1 * a lot of different gods, out of different material, at different times, and put in quite a different place, and given very, very different commands ?
The Adamites cannot prove their origin, when nor where they got their laws, songs or gospel. They were so obscene and wretched that they were afraid to sign their names to them, or give dates ; but like a thief claim to have found them. (See 22c., 2 kings.) And it was a bitter pill to the king,^ llv. 1 Who knows or can prove this * is the law
given to Moses? I - ^
These Adamites were mere infants to the nations that existed prior to them. Their bible is a meie almanac compared to the bible of mother India.
It is so extensive that a man cannot read it in a lifetime. Yet, this world was full when these be- ing, thieveing, murdering, piratical, presumptuous Adamite bigots started out. This world was full when that murder Cain started out, and found a wife. It was full when old drunken Noah had the , deliriumtremens, and imagined that awful flood. It was full when that Did lying, obscene, vagrant Abraham tramped about. It was full when that idiotic Jacob worked fourteen years for two treach- erous wives.. It was full when that murdering, bastard Moses claimed two mams and nary dad,. And, although he wandered 40 years, he could not find a vacaut or unclaimed spot! The world was full when their descendants, in 1492, landed on our beautiful American shores. Although we have given-them religious, political and civil freedon and
