Free downloads in multiple formats, of some of Robert Green Ingersoll's works.  The following reviews make the works all the more rewarding.   These reviews on his work, "About the Holy Bible".  

Ingersoll's intro:  "Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself."

Also, Lectures and other works.

I"ve been reading the lectures.  They could have been written today.  Except they are more articulate.  Just amazing to read this stuff.

Considering the times when Ingersoll lived (1833-1899), I'm awed, his words still shock and dismay many people today.  One of the reviewers said, " Reading this book was like the taste of vomit in my mouth, and spewing forth all that is unholy. I could not finish reading it!"  The writer did not identify him/herself as christian, but there's no other was to regard them.  And that makes it all the sweeter.

Nathan Young That's true Jonathan Brown.  At one time I was a member of the MRA board when it was more open towards hearing an orthodox Mormon views on things.  Since that time the MRA is now under the stewardship of a new 'religion' the 'Society for Humanistic Mormonism' which is merely another apostate religion.  It will fail just like all other apostate forms of Mormonism have failed including might I add the Mormon "Transhumanist" Association and their kind, and all the front…

Hello fellow atheists!  I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims.  I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor. 

I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists".  I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…
