We're Thinking.....

"It has been claimed by many that Freethought does away with churches, creeds, Christs and even a God. So it does to a certain extent, but not as feared by Christians. Freethought has never said pull down your churches, burn up your creeds, crucify your savor or reject your god. No one ever knew a Freethinker to try to make laws to control people. All their efforts have been the other way, trying to tear down laws already made which control by "thou shalt" and "thou shalt not." 

If those who oppose Freethought did not strive to force all to think as they do, accept Christ by faith, believe the bible to be infallable, keep Sunday as a holy day, and work for a future reward, then our fight would be at an end instantly. 

Liberty of conscience is all we ask- not control of any class, creed or sect. Every true Freethinker accords to each individual the right to mental freedom."

Etta Semple, "Liberty of Conscience is All that We Ask" (1898)
