Joseph Lewis

Quotes

• “[Atheism] believes that truth for truth's sake is the highest ideal and that virtue is its own reward.”
• “A precept claiming infallibility should certainly possess the universality of the law of gravitation and the perfection of the arithmetical table. If it fails to possess these undeviating qualities, its imperfection is self-evident and its value either greatly diminished or useless.”
• “If Atheism writes upon the blackboard of the Universe a question mark, it writes it for the purpose of stating that there is a question yet to be answered. Is it not better to place a question mark upon a problem while seeking an answer than to put the label "God" there and consider the matter solved? Does not the word "God" only confuse and make more difficult the solution by assuming a conclusion that is utterly groundless and palpably absurd?”
• “Facts and not merely opinions are what we want. Emotionalism is not a substitute for the truth.”
• “Man's inhumanity to man will continue as long as man loves God more than he loves his fellow man.”
• “As superstition is the weed of the brain, it grows perfusely, once started.”
