Inspirational Quotes - Women without Superstition
One and all, religions have their original prophets,
their sacred books, their traditions of ages gone.
One and all require us to accept without question
what other people long dead have said or written;
to obey without question the commands of those behind us….
No matter what the belief, if it had modestly said,
“This is our best thought, go on, think farther!”
then we could have smoothly outgrown our early errors
and long since have developed a religion
such as would have kept pace with an advancing world.
But we were made to believe and not allowed to think.
We were told to obey, rather than to experiment and investigate.
- Charlotte Gilman
