Robert Green Ingersoll Quotes About Fathers

• El emperador Constantino, que elevó el cristianismo al poder, asesinó a su esposa Fausta y a su hijo mayor Crispo el mismo año en que convocó el Concilio de Niza para decidir si Jesucristo era un hombre o el Hijo de Dios. El concilio decidió que Cristo era consustancial con el padre. Esto fue en el año 325. Por lo tanto, estamos en deuda con un asesino de esposas por resolver la controvertida cuestión de la divinidad del Salvador.

• The only thing that makes life endurable in this world is human love, and yet, according to Christianity, that is the very thing that we are not to have in the other world. We are to be so taken up with Jesus and angels, that we shall care nothing about our brothers and sisters that have been damned. We shall be so carried away with the music of the harp that we shall not even hear the wail of father and mother. Such a religion is a disgrace to human nature.

• You cannot show real respect to your parents by perpetuating their errors.... Do you consider that the inventor of a steel plow cast a slur upon his father who scratched the ground with a wooden one? I do not consider that an invention by the son is a slander upon the father; I regard each invention simply as an improvement; and every father should be exceedingly proud of an ingenious son. If Mr. Talmage has a son, it will be impossible for him to honor his father except by differing with him.

  Joseph Lewis, Robert Green Ingersoll (1957). “Ingersoll the Magnificent: To which Has Been Added a Special Arrangement of Some Gems from Ingersoll for Inspiration, Wisdom, and Courage”

• On every hand there seems to be design to defeat design. If God created man - if he is the father of us all, why did he make the criminals, the insane, the deformed and idiotic? Should the mother, who clasps to her breast an idiot child, thank God?

• The whip degrades; a severe father teaches his children to dissemble; their love is pretense, and their obedience a species of self-defense. Fear is the father of lies.

  Robert Green Ingersoll (1900). “Discussions”

• When your little child tells a lie, do not rush at him as though the world were about to go into bankruptcy. Be honest with him. A tyrant father will have liars for his children; do you know that? A lie is born of tyranny upon the one hand and weakness upon the other, and when you rush at a poor little boy with a club in your hand, of course he lies.

  Robert Green Ingersoll (1920). "Ingersoll: Cincuenta grandes selecciones, conferencias, homenajes, discursos de sobremesa y ensayos, cuidadosamente seleccionados de la edición de Dresde en doce volúmenes de las obras completas del coronel Ingersoll"

• Si en esta tierra alguna vez tenemos una visión del cielo, es cuando pasamos por una casa en invierno, por la noche, y a través de las ventanas, con las cortinas corridas, vemos a la familia alrededor del agradable hogar; la anciana tejiendo; el gato jugando con el hilo; los niños deseando tener tantas muñecas o dólares o cuchillos o algo, como chispas salen para unirse a la estruendosa ráfaga; el padre leyendo y fumando, y las nubes elevándose como incienso desde el altar de la alegría doméstica.Nunca pasé por una casa así sin sentir que había recibido una bendición.

• A muchas personas les cuesta renunciar a la religión en la que nacieron, admitir que sus padres estaban totalmente equivocados y que los registros sagrados de su país no son más que colecciones de mitos y fábulas.

• We are told in the Pentateuch, that god, the father of us all, gave thousands of maidens, after having killed their fathers, their mothers, and their brothers, to satisfy the brutal lusts of savage men. If there be a god, I pray him to write in his book, opposite my name, that I denied this lie for him.
